PREREQUISITES FOR THIS COURSE
Painting I: Art 1013; Painting II: Art 1023 or the approval of Instructor or Associate Dean
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Painting I will develop skills in opaque oil painting. Painting II and Watercolor I will continue to develop the
student’s skills in opaque painting. Students in both classes will learn composition, drawing, paint mixing,
measuring, impressionist style, painting like the masters, glazing, tool handling, use of photoshop,and much more.
Students will have the opportunity to work directly from life in still life and portrait paintings and from photographs
in landscape paintings. The instructor will teach by example during the first weeks with students following. As the
class progresses and students show that they have grasped basic concepts, they will begin to work more
independently. Course work may also involve trips to local galleries and museums and class critique. Students will
create an online portfolio and blog. One assignment will involve the use of acrylic paints.
TEXTBOOKS & SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL
There are no required textbooks for these classes. Supplies are as follows: Oil Paints: Specifically Windsor Newton
brand Winton 200 ML size. Student grade is preferable and if it says ‘hue’ after the color that is fine too; Alizarin

white, Burnt Sienna. Assortment of boar bristle brushes from ¼” to 1: (feel free to get the cheap ones, 1 16x20
stretched canvas to start with and be prepared to purchase 4-7 more as the semester progresses, Pallet; either
purchase or bring a piece of 12 x 16 cardboard that we will cover with freezer paper. A pallet box is optional but
saves money in the long run. ** We often purchase paints together as a class which cuts the cost down from around
$100 to around $10-15. I have you covered for the first few classes.
