This course builds on ART 147 by advancing students’ skills with oil painting materials and techniques, with continued emphasis on composition, structure, and expressive approaches. Students refine their technical abilities, expand their use of tools and mediums, and strengthen personal artistic direction through focused studio practice and critique.
