In this class we will work fairly small (1/4 sheet or less) from photos to prepare you to paint outside. I will show you how important your value study is to making a successful painting. You will learn how to lay down washes, graded washes, composition, and to use a limited palette. I would like to help you feel competent enough to give you the courage to paint outside. And, if not outside, how to use your photos to create a good painting!
