NEW! DIGITAL PAINTING WITH PROCREATE ON iPAD/ Marie Matthews

Tue & Thu 10:00AM-1:00PM 6/14 & 6/16 Fee: $42 (2 Days)

Designed for students with a background in traditional media, this class will use ProCreate to explore techniques for drawing and painting on the iPad. We will discover similarities and differences between the digital medium and traditional media, and we will work on specific techniques for rendering light, shadow, color, and basic forms. This class will be especially useful for students who are interested in using an iPad as a sketchbook, or as a tool for planning paintings in traditional media. This will be offered in person with an option to join via Zoom, whichever you
prefer.

*A previous background in painting or drawing is a prerequisite for this course.
**An iPad is required to participate in this Digital Painting Workshop.
