In this one time class students will learn to paint the blue ridge mountains using one color and black and white. Start with a simple pencil drawing then fill it in with paint.

Class Experience

Beginner Level

Students will learn how to make a beautiful monochromatic mountain painting. They will learn to draw simple mountain shapes and how to show a far away perspective. Also one will learn the effects of adding white or black paint to a strong color. Also they will learn when to paint with a small paintbrush and when to use a large one. The student will follow me step by step. At the end students will have a chance to see others paintings and tell something about their own. No prior experience is...

Students will learn how to mix paint colors, which ones are strong and which ones are weak, and how to draw a simple mountain sketch.

I have a degree in fine arts from Georgia Southwestern State University with a concentration in painting. I have made and sold many paintings. I also have several years teaching experience for ages 6-18 .
