She believes that technique is an ever evolving journey (and best learned though personal experimentation), but understanding the underlying principles of how to observe and translate your observations to a 2-D surface is key to becoming a good painter. You will work with a limited choice of colors so that you gain mastery over your paint mixing before adding extra pigments to your palette.Agenda🕑: 09:00 AM - 10:00 AMFree Art Chat & Demo (open to the public, not just participating students)Host: Nancy TankersleyInfo: Free and open to the public, this Art Chat & Demo will take place in our Main Gallery during the hour preceding the beginning of the three-day Masterclass Series.
