Painting and Mixed Media

Students learn to use a variety of drawing and painting materials such as soft pastels, conte, pencil, ink, acrylic paint and watercolour to build fine art skills. References will be provided for students to develop strengths in drawing both environmental subject matter (to build abilities in perspective, scale, depth and balance) and physical features, human and animal (to increase abilities in proportion, shape, line and shade). With this foundational instruction, fun and thoughtfully composed works in magnificent landscape and mixed media portraiture in a variety of styles will be explored. References to master works will be provided for inspiration as students are encouraged to recreate famous works in different styes and media. All materials are included.
