Painting Fundamentals
At Fundamentalist, to teach painting is to strengthen our students' ability to master form, Lighting and design. We do not teach you to copy from references or models, instead, you will be trained to master light and colour schemes, as well as shape design so that you can paint any subject matter in any size and angle and in any lighting. This is crucial if you want to paint from you imagination.
