Students will learn and gain new painting skills during the duration of each class. We will have a short discussion beforehand about the painting we will be creating and the methods needed. Students are expected to have their materials ready. We will go through the process step by step and the students can discuss their creations as we are painting. This will be a fun interactive class where the students are encouraged to share. We will discuss technique as we progress through the classes. The paintings will get more complex as we progress but will still be very doable for beginners. There will be a discussion afterwards so that the students may share their paintings that they have created. This is optional for the student. Everything the student requires will be posted a week before each class. Student will require different canvases throughout but all supplies needed for the first class is posted in the supplies area.
