The class begins with a short demonstration and lesson, with a clear objective presented for the students to master. Among the topics that may be presented are light, shade, and half-tone, edges, color value, tonal value, color depth, texture, simultaneous contrast, reflected light, and color modeling.  Most supplies are provided; please bring an easel.
