Bridgeview School of Fine ArtsBy working from life, students will master both technical and conceptual aspects of painting. Color theory and color mixing will be discussed. The goal is to teach students to create a realistic image through mastering color and tonal relationships. Beginner students work from still life while more advanced might work from still life and live models. No prior painting experience necessary but prior drawing exeprience is recommended before taking this class or in conjunction with it.
