In this class, students will learn how to gently sketch a basic outline of a tree, choose where the sun is coming from, and then learn to gently paint their own. We will then do this same idea with a more detailed tree. Techniques for this project will include testing pigments, wet on dry, dry brushing, layering, and lifting. The teacher will model these techniques, and the students will get the opportunity to try the technique and explore. With each technique, there are many ways to then alter something small and get a completely different effect in our art. Students will then work to complete their scene, and we will share at the end of class for those who feel comfortable.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome! I've taught in a traditional classroom, in a creative arts school setting, online, and as a home school Mom as needed with our own unique learners. I believe that arts, music, and books add so much to our days, and want to provide classes that support these areas with your learners too! I love learning new arts, and have even learned to paint and play the piano, recently, as an adult. I have been crocheting and sewing for about 30 years, and hope to share my knowledge with other lifelong learners who want to be brave and try new things! I believe enjoying the process is just as important, if not more, than the end product. I model imperfection and share my thought process in how to improve our experiences. I hope to see you soon!Reviews
