12” x 16” Canvas (with pre-drawn image) provided
Students are responsible for their own art materials; see below for materials list
Students focus on bold colour, warm-cool contrast, and expressive brushwork to create that glowing night-time atmosphere. Rather than getting caught up in detail, students use a simplified scene and concentrate on light, colour, and movement.
Working from a master painting is a great way to strengthen your understanding of colour, composition, and paint application.
