396 - Painting Like the Masters
Adult Class | Available
Choose your favorite Old Master painting to copy. Students will be guided in expanding the proportions from the copy on hand to the canvas as well as re-creating the same colors. Through copying we will try to see through the eyes of the original painter and appreciate what made them masters.
This is a 6-hr class with a 1/2 hour lunch break.
Previous oil painting experience reccomended, but not required.
Bring a copy of your favorite Old Master painting to the first class. Bring the book in or a good color copy and a- clip or tape to secure page flat.
