About this course

This intermediate level course reviews and expands on fundamental painting skills acquired in the foundation painting course primarily with oil paint. Students work on assigned and individual projects that highlight both historical and contemporary methods and concepts of the discipline. Some projects are based on direct observation while others utilize found images, memory and imagination in order to promote the development of a personal and expressive painting style.
