General Class Information: 
Each class involves color theory, composition and technique.  The instruction is blended with your painting time.  
My favorite teacher says  "Painting is not a spectator sport."  So True!  You will be painting (and learning) through the entire class.   As an instructor, I do not want you to paint like me.  I want you to paint like YOU!   I will demo only when the lesson requires it.  I want every participant to find their own style....and that can only be found by putting the miles in. 
So we journey together, what fun! 

 Please note: CDC Guidelines.  All participants must be vaccinated prior to attending.     ​
___________________________
Previous classes ( from 2020) .....which may be revisited again :
​Palette Knife  
 A four session immersion in the textural and expressive nature of painting with a palette knife.
​Understanding the tools, how to use them and when and where to use a palette knife technique in future paintings.   
Fun and spontaneous, this class is always a crowd pleaser.
____________________________________
 Color Theory   
A subject that never gets old.  And as artists we are instinctively drawn to color .  
In this class we study color relation, color history, the elements of color and how it relates to our paintings, even to our personalities.
 It is one of the most fun classes , both intellectual and creatively satisfying . Upon completion, you will know more about yourself as an artist as you discover how to intellectually and emotionally use color.   
_________________________________________ 
 A New Perspective  
Such an exciting topic ( perspective) yet one that is often overlooked.  When, and why, do we use One point, Two point perspective? We begin with architecture and move on to landscape elements and the human figure.......All in proportion to their surroundings
