Description
Take this opportunity to capture the aesthetic beauty of the past summer and fall seasons in their colorful glory. Bring in your photographs on electronic media or printed and Paul will guide you in the painting process. The emphasis of the class will be on basic drawing, technique and working compositions. Students will be taken through the painting process in stages developing their paintings in a step-by-step manner. Paul will work with you at your own artistic level in a small class and relaxed environment. Each participant will make a single finished painting that will be their own completed original work. Instructor: Paul Papadonis, experienced art educator. 6 weeks.
Supply Recommendations for Seasonal Landscape Class
This class is designed to service your art interests and needs.
To that end I am going to recommend that you purchase the either
supplies for watercolor painting OR acrylic painting.
Those of you that do not have a lot of recent art experience are
recommended to try making a WATERCOLOR OR ACRYLIC LANDSCAPE
PAINTING. I you are confident and you know what media and subject
matter you want to explore then by all means go for it!

PREFERABLY AN I Pad or Laptop. Cell phone pics will work but they

photos but will not forbid it.
