Building on the basic knowledge of paint, brushes, color and mixing from Beginning Painting Part I, this
introductory level class will teach the basic mechanics of creating a composition in opaque media
working from a tabletop still-life setup.
Topics include:
– how to plan and sketch out a composition prior to applying paint
– how to apply paint in an ordered manner through a logic sequence of layers
– sense of depth through shadows and highlights
