What you choose to paint is important, but how you paint it is equally important and often overlooked. This class will approach painting as a means of personal expression and communication.

Students will learn how to utilize the characteristics of painting to embed their paintings with meaning and emotion. Students with some prior painting experience will be most comfortable. Any painting media is appropriate.
