This ongoing subscription art club allows students to explore easy painting projects in a low-pressure, student-centered environment. Each week students will complete a different painting with step-by-step teacher guidance. Students are encouraged to add their own unique flair to each project through color choices and other project variations.

No previous painting experience is required. This painting club will offer easy painting options that do not require a traceable, or initial drawing. The background will be a great place to practice blending, then the student will learn how to draw the subject with a brush. 

This weekly class is 55 mins. 
est - 30 mins for the back ground
20-30 mins for the subject/silhouette
The class goes at a decent pace to cover everything

For the demonstrations,  Lovejoy will utilize a "screen share" slideshow and pre-recorded video to demonstrate the steps. The slideshow is a file on canva or google drive.  (Students are not directed to any outside sources)
Please upload your final painting photo to this class and inspire others to join the class

*If you feel like these paintings are too simple or you are ready to push your skills, check out the "Iconic painting club" for more challenging paintings.

*want more open-ended weekly projects? check out my "Easy Art projects club"

*If you like to paint slower, I recommend the "flex camps" so you can go at your own pace.

*Have a group and want to create your own time slot? email Lovejoy to set up the class
Great for homeschool groups & remote learning
