In week ten with instructor Joe Altwer, you will learn to create a color study for a complex still-life of reflective objects. You will practice premixing colors, blocking in, and making adjustments. Joe will demonstrate the initial drawing of the final painting, starting with the contours and then filling in the shadow mass.
