Explore traditional design principles, strategies for editing and simplifying compositions, application techniques, mark-making tools, and color. Throughout the week, create multiple paintings on a variety of substrates with an emphasis on experimentation and expression. Fusing technique and intuition, discover how to adapt this medium to your personal style, no matter the subject.
