Translate a dream, memory, or fantasy into a finished painting. Develop a single, personal body of work, moving from concept and reference gathering through composition, color, and resolution, while building core painting skills along the way. The course welcomes both abstract and representational approaches and is open to all skill levels. Use oil or acrylic paint or incorporate mixed media. Students are encouraged to bring their own source material in the form of sketches, photographs, or written notes.
