Description:
Join us for a morning of creativity and inspiration. This in-depth class will provide you with the opportunity to learn new techniques, meet fellow artists, and unleash your inner artist. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced painter, this workshop is perfect for anyone looking to explore the beauty of landscapes through art. Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to hone your skills and create stunning masterpieces.
What Students will Learn:
● Learn to make the landscape that you see real in your paintings. Students will learn how to compose their painting, establish a strong base design and approaches to detailing and finishing.
● The goal of the class is for each student to take home a painting they can be proud of.
● The format for the class will be a demonstration of painting stages, with most of the time focused on each individual student’s painting. Each Class will go through the same steps to complete a painting. If students take multiple classes, they can spend that time completing a painting started in an earlier class or start a new painting.
