Allison Parker will instruct Beginning Painting, recommended for those with previous drawing experience. (The Foundations Drawing course is recommended but not required.)

This course will help students make the transition from black-and-white drawing to painting in color. We will explore several strategies to make this transition easier, helping the student develop his or her own 'best' process leading to a finished piece. We will use several types of preparatory studies and discuss how to finish or develop paintings in situations where live observation time is limited.
