3 Series Class - Learning to Paint- for Beginners

Series 1- Still Life 
This beginning session is a perfect place to start for beginning and intermediate painters. Drawing and painting from still life is a necessary foundation for creating great work. Lessons will be done in class together and additional lessons will be given for take-home practice to accompany what we learn in class.  All materials, apron, and canvases for each session are included. 

Series 2- Plein-air Painting 
Upon completion of our Still Life Class we begin this session by heading outside with our easels. Painting outside or "in plein air" is a challenging and fun way to improve your talent. Lessons will be done in our class sessions together and additional lessons will be given for take-home practice to accompany what we learn in class. All materials, apron, and canvases for each session are included. 

Series 3- Painting from Photo
Upon completion of the Plein Air Painting we start this session by painting landscapes/seascapes from photo.  Choosing a good composition and understanding color and light to create an interesting painting full of depth are the focus for this session. Lessons will be done in class together and additional lessons will be given for take-home practice to accompany what we learn in class. All materials, apron, and canvases for each session are included.
