Cost: $250

Description:
Have you ever wanted to paint but just didn’t know where to start? Then this class is tailored just for you! 

David will teach a simplified approach to painting the landscape by breaking a photo down into basic shapes and values. He will begin demonstrating a painting and then have you follow along with his guidance in a step-by- step approach.  We will use a fairly limited palette and go over the basics of color mixing. David will provide photo reference material but you may bring your own as well.  The class will be a combination of demonstrations and personal instruction as you work on your own painting.  

David will be painting in oils but students may work in oils or acrylics. Acrylic artists are encouraged to use retarding medium and/or mix in open acrylics to extend drying time.

For beginning or inexperienced painters. Don’t be intimidated or put it off any longer! This will be fun and encouraging class.
