This month, senior art students will be creating a landscape painting by learning an oil painting technique known as Imprimatura. Imprimatura is an underpainted monochrome tonal rendering using browns (such as Burnt Sienna). Students will be learning to use negative and positive space to create a landscape using one color. After the underpainting is complete, students will learn to mix colors and create a cohesive landscape of their choice. This class will be filled with discussion, experimenting and relaxation!

**WARNING** Oil paint and solvents comes with a strong scent, if you are sensitive to smells please keep this in mind when signing up.

Skill Level Needed: No experience!
