OverviewFor this assignment you will need to review the color wheel and color theory because we will be mixing and layering paint. You will be making multiple, small paintings that have a background, middle ground and foreground with little to no detail. Your composition will focus on the use of color and mark-making and the final product should 'suggest' a landscape.
Materialschip board, canvas or poster board, acrylic paint
