For the beginner or experienced painter!

In this workshop, we will learn four simple steps to the successful painting of your subject choice over a four-week period. Students will come to a broader understanding of the principles of composition, color, value, and texture. Find some images of something you’d like to render in paint and get ready to have some fun!

You will be free to use whatever opaque medium you’re comfortable with.

Your instructor’s personal guarantee: “You will end the series with a completed painting that you’ll be delightfully surprised you were able to do.”

What to bring:

• Bring whatever opaque medium you want, and whatever brushes go with that medium, bring
  2 painting surfaces (canvas, paper, board,
• etc)
• Bring photos of your subject: landscape, architecture, pet, still life, whatever you want, and the instructor will help in selecting the one to use
• If a device is available (iPad, cell phone, etc.) they are often the best option in terms of working from a photos
• Painting smock or clothing you’re ok getting paint on
