Class Information
Painting is about expressing yourself. When we begin a painting, we need to have a concept or idea about what it is we are trying to say. How do we decide that? And how do we paint it? That is what this class is about. Let’s bring our work to a new level and deal with this issue. In the class, I will help you to understand the purpose of painting and how you turn an idea into a work of art.
