Join Prix de West artist Bruce Greene as he shares his experiences creating stories with paint and palette. Take part in warm-up drawing exercises, discussions, and demonstrations, and learn to create a story and mood through details like facial expressions, color, texture, and title. Through daily painting and one-on-one instruction, students will gain a better understanding of how to tell a story through imagery and make emotional connections with art.
