Oil & Acrylic Painting Techniques
Instructor: Jerry Calengor
Skill Level: I, AD
This class will explore every artist's dilemma - how subject matter and its selection are the core of a successful end piece. Working in oils and/or acrylics, we will look at how subject matter can be manipulated to enhance the success of a final piece without losing its original perspective. This will be done by looking at the painting within the painting to explore potential patterns and shapes that can evolve into your final interpretation of the subject chosen.
