This course affords students the unique opportunity to work on paintings or drawings they currently have in progress. Instruction will focus on how to push their work to the next level. The course will deal with the technical aspects of illusionist painting. Study may include composition, form, paint application, both direct and indirect painting, color, or any other technical elements required to improve the work. There will be emphasis on the ability to see a painting as a complete sum of its parts and to address how to make it function as a greater whole.

Paintings will be worked on directly in class or, if students prefer, exercises designed to address trouble spots can be completed on separate canvases. This class provides a wonderful workshop environment with hands on painting and both group and individual critiques. Students without work in progress who wish to participate will be provided with exercises at the onset from which they can develop a painting throughout the course. This class is open to students of all levels.
