Artists of all levels will learn the principles of color mixing as well as brush technique. The course will center on the experience of painting from a live model. Students will learn how to achieve a better likeness as well as how to paint convincing flesh tones. The class will include painting demonstrations\, discussions and individual instruction at the easel.  The beginner will learn fundamental principles such as how to blend paint and render light and shadow.
