Each of the course videos focuses on a different aspect of painting. At the end of each video is a suggested project to practice the lecture skills. Please try out as many of these projects as you'd like. For example, the video on creating the illusion of space suggests a project to use a variety soft and hard edges, to create deep or shallow space in your painting. Try out the ideas on your current painting, or start a new one based on the lecture concepts. 

To help with projects please note there are important pdf resources you can download. These include a pdf book, a Table of Contents with suggested projects, and some supplemental documents for two of the course videos.
