Are you ready to level up your painting skills? Over the course of five weeks, students will learn techniques to take a painting from okay to extraordinary. Learn common compositional approaches, color theory for painting, and advanced mark making in a relaxed atmosphere with local artist Hilary Schenker. Students have the choice to work in acrylic or oil paint, and to work from a photo reference of their choice or a provided reference. Designed for students who have had some basic drawing experience or previously taken a painting class.
Be inspired, find flow, and ignite a new passion!
