In this class we will paint the Natural Bridges in Oregon, focusing on the bold contrast (and sneaky subtlety) between dark and light values.  We will discuss the magic of uneven values in artwork.  Each student will work on a panel that has been prepared with an underpainting, allowing us to finish the paintings in one day. We will spend the beginning of class mixing colors and testing strokes on scrap panels. Halfway through the painting process we will walk around and view our progress for questions and constructive feedback. The remainder of the class will be for each student to finish their piece with as much freedom or guidance as desired.

Deadline to register is March 6

Scholarships may be available. If funds are a barrier to learning, please CLICK HERE to request financial assistance.

To help ensure an enjoyable experience for all, we kindly encourage guests to consider attending fragrance-free in support of those with allergies and sensitivities.
