ART 40- Beginning Painting
Acrylic Painting by Israel Quintero
This collection of paintings is a gathering of honest attempts; evidence of exploratory
possibilities and areas to learn from. Painting is the act of bringing our ideas into
a coherent
reality, and it takes much practice, much intention and often much failure before
success.
What you see here are the successes in this early area of study. They have each taken
a bold
step in this medium. This course is taught by Adam Longatti
