This course is for those who wish to learn to paint with style and confidence. There is always something new to learn and experience even if you are a pro. Discover the versatility of oil, water based and mixed media painting techniques that are available to help you explore the magic of painting approaches more fully. During this course you will explore still life and portraiture painting techniques through a series of weekly challenges as well as longer three week tasks, developing methods that are key elements in any successful piece of art and are essential in keeping the viewer engaged with your work.
