Follow the Leader - Contemporary Painting
Adult Class | Registration opens 5/14/2025 8:00 PM EDT
The way we paint can be as charming and captivating as What we paint. When we use art materials, we connect the mind, and the heart or spirit, through the hand, to expression. And what we make can surprise us! When you watch the demo warm-up exercises you will learn to use unique colors, to compose, and to layer to activate a surface. Paint from your travel experiences and summer photos, or from my still life set-up, as a way to develop your artistic vision.
