The curriculum of this class is devised to offer students with some previous instruction and a structured but open and supportive environment in which to create. Working in pastels, oils or acrylic paint from studio assignments, independent projects of their own design, and sessions with a live model, each student will be encouraged to explore academic as well as more expressionistic and abstract options via group and individual critiques and illustrated lectures referencing the history of painting. Open to Pastel, Oil and Acrylic painters with some experience. Please bring your preferred materials to the first class. Model fees included.
