For those of you who have been meaning to give painting a try, here is your chance to work in a delicious medium and build a set of skills that can take you to the next level. Paintings are worked from back to front: skies are laid in first, background elements next, middle ground and then foreground. This gives the painter great freedom to construct the landscape one layer at a time, building depth and perspective. Anyone can paint using this method -- you only need to be able to sign your name.

These are the first two paintings we'll be doing -- small and simple!

$60/class, includes prepared canvas
Supply list available here or thru the studio.
