OSHER 87 - Drawing and Painting Fundamentals

When you pick up a pencil or a brush what are the elements that help you to make the marks that you want to make? How do you go about getting better at the craft? Does it really matter how colors are mixed and what's the difference between different types of paper or canvas? How do the different types of media and substrates affect the outcome of the piece? These are just some of the questions we will address in this class. Whether you are a seasoned artist or just starting out, this class is geared to help you enjoy the journey. It is a time to experiment with the medium and subject of your choice. Please bring your own painting or drawing supplies, still life objects or reference materials you would like to work from. Also, please feel free to bring some of your work if you would like to share and discuss it.
