Monday–Tuesday & Thursday–Friday, 9:00 am – 12:30 pm
Fee: $320
Instructor present each day
Enrollment limited to 12 students

We make better paintings when we have a deeper understanding of the work of other painters. With slides and books, Mr. Feltus will explain how painters speak to us through their paintings—how we find answers to our questions when we learn to see the abstract structure, how color works, and what lies beneath the reading of subject matter or narrative. Students will draw compositional analyses of paintings and make collage studies of color.
