Class Experience

In this class, learners will paint a Cardinal by a street light with no experience necessary! This is a beginner-friendly class, so you do not have to know how to paint to complete this awesome painting. We will start with ice breakers then transition into painting. Students will paint along with me while learning basic fundamentals and other painting techniques that they can carry with them even after this class and re-create on their own. While painting, we will also discuss and learn fun facts about Cardinals. In addition to the class being taught in an aesthetically pleasing art studio area, learners can expect a fun and energetic learning environment. By the end of class they will have created a wonderful masterpiece.
