This class will deal with painting as a means of expression. We will select various artists from 19th and 20th centuries. We will use these artists as reference- experiencing what they experienced, gaining knowledge along the way. You will be guided to find your own voice while learning how to technically achieve the results you want. There are no rules but lots of principles.
