Course Description: First practiced by Flemish artists in the early fifteenth century, the age-old grisaille technique was used by masters like van Eyck to Michelangelo to produce colorful and luminous paintings.  Through demonstrations, discussion, examples, and hands-on practice, beginner and intermediate painters alike develop a more thorough approach to the painting process.
