Drawing & Painting with LEEANNA CHIPANA

Drawing & Painting for the Absolute Beginner

This course is specifically geared for those students new to painting, or those who have some painting experience but have never been presented with the basics. Leeanna will present the nuts and bolts of oil painting from the very beginning. Students will be given helpful information regarding brushes, palettes, color mixing and application, mediums, etc. Leeanna will also introduce various methods for beginning an oil painting, starting first with a single color and gradually moving toward a full-spectrum palette. Lessons will be taught in a clear and straightforward manner, and the instructor will work one-on-one with every student to ensure that each one can learn at his or her own pace. Fundamentals of Drawing will be studied before painting.
