Independent Studio

 (Intermediate - Advanced)

Start the new paintings you have been longing to do or bring in works in progress that you have been wrestling with for technical assistance.  Special focus will be given to developing original compositions and ideas, developing a series of work, and expanding your painting style to further communicate your intent for each painting.
