Topics will include including setting up your workstation, color mixing, color theory, brush technique, understanding paint formulas, how to apply paint, how to paint from a photo, how to paint on paper, wood, or canvas, and more. No prior experience is required. Workshop includes 24 hours of instruction and all materials are provided by the instructor.
