Getting Started in Painting and Brushes

We need to start at the basics. How do find inspiration? We look at famous works of art and sketch ideas. Many great artists kept a sketchbook. Leonardo da Vinci kept an extensive idea journal. You can also take pictures of scenes, people and objects. Collect ideas you see you magazines or on websites. Inspiration can come in many forms.

We will be using the presentations on this page in class. Bring your notebook, pencil and caffeine. We have lots to talk about before we start to paint.
