Instructor Rosa Montante 6 week Class $169 7/2/18 -8/13/18 skip 7/16 Course Description: Based on individual interests, students can explore modern direct painting techniques and/or the old master techniques with modern oil painting materials. This class will develop or enhance your artistry and give you the necessary skills to successfully finish a panting within the scheduled sessions. Together we will complete a value study under-painting, direct painting and glazing. These techniques will be applied using your own photos as reference. Students will need to bring at least 6 of their own phtographs 4" x 3" or larger to use as reference for their original art work. iPads work great to take photographs and use as your reference.
