Class Description:
In this class we will paint from still life objects, fruit or flowers with an emphasis on blocking color and shapes in one class and adding details to finish in the next class. Students are also welcome to bring objects or projects from home that are meaningful to them. Returning students can continue their practice or work on a project of their own.
