Bring your ideas to life from thumbnail sketches to a finished work of art using oil or acrylic media.  This class emphasizes planning in painting through composition, value, and color studies, as well as developing strong drawings and gathering reference materials before the start of a painting.  We will also focus on brushwork, color mixing and application, as well as wet into wet, dry-brush, glazing and other painting techniques.  Because everyone's needs are different, supplies will be discussed during the first class.  Bring your sketch pad and your ideas.  All levels are welcome.  Visit the instructor's website at www.lesliebruceartandillustration.com. 8 weeks.
