  Does your photograph look great but copying it does not make a great painting? In this class you will learn to develop an artist’s eye to evaluate and edit your own photos, drawings, or paintings, and how to create well designed eye-catching paintings! Bring your photos, drawings, and/or paintings to class. Each student will have time for personal student/teacher discussion to learn how to edit and strengthen their own compositions and painting techniques.

  Does your photograph look great but copying it does not make a great painting? In this class you will learn to develop an artist’s eye to evaluate and edit your own photos, drawings, or paintings, and how to create well designed eye-catching paintings! Bring your photos, drawings, and/or paintings to class. Each student will have time for personal student/teacher discussion to learn how to edit and strengthen their own compositions and painting techniques.
