Introduction to Painting
w/ Nathan Durnin
July 22 – August 12
1:00pm – 4:00pm
Working from still life, this class seeks to give students a clear approach to their palette by focusing on the building blocks of color such as value, color temperature, and hue. By the end of class, students should be able to control the colors on their palette to recreate what they’re observing in the real world.
