(10% discount for members! = $1,035 for full series and /or $121 session.)
This is a very exciting class. We will continue to build on all that we’ve done with mood by introducing various lighting effects. This process will provide you with a sincere appreciation of, and skill to control, how light affects the mood of a given scene. It really “ups the ante” for adding interest and dynamics to your paintings. The goal will be to produce a finished work.
This class is designed for students who have been attending this annual Master’s Series. If you would like to join the class and have not been part of the series so far, Peter is happy to offer private sessions to catch students up and prepare them for this series.
