Learn how to elevate your observation and rendering skills to create a highly- developed fine art portfolio! Use the tools of drawing and painting, mixed media, and experimental conceptual works to create a body of work that focuses on solidifying a personal vision and voice. This class is ideal for artists looking to make the transition from mostly observation-based works into creating conceptual works with mostly imaginative elements.
