Painting 225 is chosen mostly for its light theory load: 6 exam lessons. The practical is where the real work is, and it is done at your study centre. Check before admission that your centre can conduct the Painting practical. If you choose it only to make up five subjects, make sure you are comfortable drawing regularly.
