Description: We will have clothed models for both the morning and afternoon sessions. In the morning, we will be working on a number of different exercises designed to sharpen your drawing skills and to teach you to draw with authority and expression. In the afternoon, while painting longer poses of the models in your chosen medium, you will learn how to use an under painting to tone your canvas, how to relate the foreground to the background, and how to use contrasting Elements of Design to strengthen your paintings.  Level: Beginning to advanced
