The class will concentrate on the magical qualities of light. Mr. Kreutz will teach how to bring together drawing, edges, design, color, and paint quality. Students will develop the ability to look at form with deeper understanding, which involves heightening one's awareness of how light flows, why shadows fall as they do, and how atmosphere envelopes the whole. Students will learn oil has a shimmer and texture that needs to be exploited on canvas, that its physical ness can be a tool in creating illusions.
