The most common request I have heard from students is how can I paint looser. In this class we will address the skill set required to be able to do just that. We will touch on color theory and various different brushwork techniques, how to hold a brush, what consistency your paint should be, etc. The class begins on March 26th and ends on April 30th. It runs from 11:00 – 2:00.
