For students ready to bridge the gap between drawing and painting, this course offers a structured path forward. The first few weeks will focus on refining drawing composition skills, developing painting ideas, and gaining familiarity with materials. Instruction includes demonstrations in color mixing and techniques for transferring a drawing to canvas. Midway through the course, students will begin creating original paintings based on their preparatory work, while exploring painting as a medium for expression. Participants may choose to work in oil, ink, gouache, or acrylic.
