Join for one or all classes in this exploration of oil and acrylic painting! This series will build on what we do in each session, trying something different each class, but artists are not required to participate each week. Any experience level is welcome.
JUNE 4 — Monochromatic Underpainting

This week you will use a monochromatic underpainting as a way to begin your painting. You will work from a simple still life that you will see on your screen. With an emphasis on simple shapes and color value you will develop your image, and then add color. You may need to complete the painting on your own.
