In this class, students will become acquainted with the painting techniques of early 17th-Century Europe.

The paintings of Caravaggio, Georges de La Tour, Clause Lorraine, and Vermeer will be used as guides as students become familiar with the terms chiaroscuro, tenebrism, and sfumato. Subject matter includes still life and landscape. This class is appropriate for both beginners and intermediate students.
