Focuses on painting from observation, with specific reference to both historical and contemporary aspects of traditional genres. A series of projects, introducing both acrylic and oil painting, techniques will allow students to explore the formal properties of colour, tone and composition. Through this process students develop critical skills, as well as their abilities to observe and describe.

Priority is given to CRCP and VIAR students in Year 2. Students outside of the registration priority group may register/waitlist for this course as of the registration rule release date.
