Mondays - 9:30 am till ???

when:  January 16, February 20,  March 19,  April 9,  May 21
previous class themes:
 emphasis on composition, and tweaking an almost finished  painting!,  palette knife work,  small paintings ( think gifts),  palette knife and focus on brushwork,  "using only the three primary colors: red, yellow and blue",  "skys and brushwork",    "Painting with the wrong end of the brush",   small painting - from life - BIG impact,  "magic ingredients in your paintings- glazing and negative space"

  learning to "see" is the essence of painting.  we will learn classic principles by working from life or your photos.

we learn : mixing the color you want, learning to see in values, the difference in drawing and painting, and getting familiar with application.  Just lots of basic information with demonstration paintings and time to help with your painting.  I will send my suggested supply list when you sign up.    I look forward to painting with you!   I will plan a personal one-on-one class to get you started.

 call or email to add your name to the list, we would enjoy having you paint with us!
