CONCEPT:  Come to first day of class with some ideas of what you are interested in painting.  With class discussion, you may decide to alter your plans, but come with ideas anyway to start the ball rolling.  Ideas, photo images, etc will be helpful.
If you have a painting in progress, bring it as well.
