Expand your visual awareness.

Drawing and painting from a live model, learn about the materials and techniques of oil painting with a certain simplification and design of large masses, described in value and colour. Develop proper proportion and structure of heads and figures; understanding of light and its application. Study colour and value with the use of restricted palettes and the development of the figure in composition.
