The Art Instruction class is geared toward the advancement of drawing, watercolor or acrylic painting and is perfect for beginners and advanced students alike. All students are taught on an individual basis. Students are introduced to the theories of composition and color as well as the mechanics of how to manipulate graphite or paint.
