Students are encouraged to bring their own reference materials but may simply choose to work from the provided ideas. Any level of experience is welcome and encouraged. Weekly practice will include techniques such as wash, dry brush, wet on wet, wet on dry and why they might be used. Discussions of common problems and how to avoid or remedy them will also be covered. Focus will be primarily on landscapes and nature (but students are encouraged to work on anything which interests them).
