(Online) Introduction to Painting C with Martin Wall

Class | Available

Introduction to Painting C is one of three Introduction to Painting classes that build on one another and may be taken out of sequence. Each level of Intro to Painting (A, B, and C) focuses on different color schemes. After completion of all three levels, students will have an expanded vocabulary of color mixtures which will equip them to transfer into Intermediate Painting. Students will work from observation (still life and landscape) and collage/sketches. This class will implement a color-mixing method unique to the Washington Studio School. Students will also be exposed to art references, both historical and contemporary.

What you can expect:

  • Push knowledge of color-mixing 

  • Work from observation (still life).

  • Gain knowledge of ala prima painting.

  • Build a vocabulary pertinent to painting and engage in group discussions.



Who is this class for: This class is the last of the Introduction to Painting series. Ideally, students taking level C will have taken level B & A prior, but can take this class nonetheless if they are new to painting. IT IS STRONGLY recommended that students have some drawing experience before taking any painting class. All three courses must be completed for the Foundation Certificate Program.
