For oil and/or acrylic painters.
For more than a century, painters have used photography to assist them in painting the landscape. In this 6-week class, students will use photographs as reference material in creating a landscape painting(s). Emphasis will be placed on interpreting and enhancing the image while creating vibrant, lively effects. Bring photos (or various photo options) on the first day of class. Materials are not included. If desired, materials may be purchased from VisArts and will be on hand at the first class. Or materials may be purchased at any good art supply store. Your pick of oil OR acrylic materials.
