Designed for adult participants, this 3-session course introduces core painting skills through three key areas: value and design, color theory, and brushwork. Through a variety of exercises, participants will investigate light, composition, and color schemes while building control and personal expression using different painting techniques. The course culminates in a final project where each participant creates a painting of their own choosing, applying the skills they’ve developed.
