If you are just learning how to paint, or you’ve got some painting experience and are curious about introducing elements of collage, textures, pattern, image transfer, and trying out a variety of tools for mark making, drawing, and experimenting, this is a good place to start. Each week the instructor will introduce a new technique to explore, and will provide a lot of the materials for students to “try on” before investing in supplies beyond the basic supply list.
