This art course takes inspiration from seasonal landscapes – a perfect way to appreciate the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. With step-by-step instructions and lots of exercises, students will learn to draw and paint from their reference. This course will take students through the basics of acrylic painting, starting with the types of materials and tools that one can use, to the techniques in handling the medium.
