Description
Instructor: Rachael Bailey
Wednesdays from 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM
8 sessions starting March 20, 27, April 3, 10, 17, 24, May 1, 8.
This class is for students who understand basic drawing and painting techniques and want to learn how to broaden the possibilities of a single piece. We will be learning how to unite different media into one drawing by learning how to: transition between materials to create cohesion and unity, how to use dry and water-based media together, and how to use oil paint on paper with other media. The first 5 classes will be single-piece exercises with a shared image reference to build basic understanding of concepts. The last three weeks will be students choosing their images and receiving individual instructor aid to create a piece they are interested in!
