This is an ideal course for beginner and intermediate students who want to improve their painting skills and learn a step-by-step process to make landscape paintings with acrylics. This course is perfect for new students or a continuation for those who took previous classes last year.
Classes will cover preliminary drawing, color combination, paint application, light, tones, values, form, texture, composition, and the use of brushes.
