In this beginning-to-advanced studio-based class, students will be guided through creating a painting from their chosen personal photo. This class will take a slow approach, first discussing design and composition with in-class exercises, then exploring color theory and color mixing strategies. Finally, the last three classes will be utilized to draw and slowly paint a finished work on canvas. All materials included.• Learn More/Register Link:https://telfair.ticketapp.org/portal/product/113/packages
