Advanced Painting
If you can answer yes to three or more of the following statements, then this advanced class is for you!
1. I have been painting for a while now and I am ready for a more challenging studio class.
2. I want my paintings critiqued by my instructor and classmates to help me grow as an artist.
3. I am looking to find and develop "my" style.
4. I would like to explore different "themes" in my artwork.
5. I am ready for a faster pace in my studio class.
6. I'm ready to start producing "original" work by using my own ideas, sketches, color studies and/or photographs.
7. I like the idea of having a smaller class size where my painting instructor can mentor me.
