Class Description:

This is a Mixed-Level Class with Experience Ranging from Intermediate to Professional. Go at Your Own Pace and Remember, Everyone Learns From Everyone!

We're working in oils for painting and charcoal and graphite for drawing.

Approach

• Paint with your eyes, your mind, and your intuition. Technique comes second.
• Get in over your head and take on bigger challenges.
• Think abstractly. Don’t attach a name to the things you paint.
• Focus on the process more than the outcome
• Watch your state of mind while you work.
• Have some fun & don’t obsess.
• Feeling is everything
