    • Create a 9 step value scale by picking a primary color and learning to tint with white and then shade with black.

    • Learn how light changes value over a 3 dimensional object.

      • Demonstration of a cube, with student practice

      • Demonstration of a cylinder, with student practice

      • Demonstration of a sphere, with student practice

  • If time allows we will do a group still life of monochromatic solid objects.

    All materials are included for use during this class and there will be a supply list provided to purchase materials to take home.

    There are no prerequisites for this course.


    This is a fundamentals class and the concepts we cover will be used in later classes as we continue to explore this classic medium.

    An option to order a boxed lunch from The Mercantile will be available.
