Painting

What You’ll Learn

• Work hands-on with watercolor, oil, and pencil to explore texture, layering, and mark-making across traditional media.

• Develop a deeper understanding of how each medium communicates mood, story, and emotion.

• Capture and photograph your work for use in digital exploration.

As well as:

• Learn digital painting in Procreate as a powerful medium in its own right—experiment with brushes, color palettes, and techniques that mimic or diverge from traditional styles.

• Use digital tools to build on your analog work—refine compositions, test color schemes, and explore new visual directions without starting over.

• Understand how digital painting can both stand alone and support your traditional process, giving you flexibility and freedom in your art-making.

Integrating Self-Promotion:

Throughout the course, students will document their creative processes, capturing "behind-the-scenes" content that showcases their unique approach and journey. This practice builds confidence and familiarity with self-promotion tools, ensuring students leave with a portfolio that communicates their artistic voice effectively.
