Overview

This course will focus on contextual awareness of the genre of Plant Portraits and giving students techniques to understand how they were produced.

The course is taught through a series of video demonstrations, downloadable handouts and PowerPoint presentations all accessed through blackboard across 5 units:

Unit 1: Tonal Studies: Monchromatic Drawing and Painting Techniques
