Amazing Nature

Ages 6-11

For our first project, we will use our imaginations to create silhouettes of branches and leaves painted on a vivid sky at sunset. Dramatic, color-filled images will be created using watercolor for the background and sumi ink and collage for the leaves and branches.

For our second project, we will again use our imaginations, this time to create a rich tapestry of the objects and creatures that we find on our beaches and dunes. We will use “flicking” to recreate the sand and collage and paint to create shells, seaweed and the sea and clouds.

Gouache Paint and The Human Figure

ADULTS

Tuesdays 6:30pm-8:30pm

Want to learn what gouache paint is, and how to use it? Gouache paint can produce rich, deep colors with both translucent and opaque layers. We will explore all of these possibilities as we paint the live model.

Painting from Life, Outdoors and In

Ages 6-11

For our first project, we will start with an outdoor landscape painting.  Bringing our easels outside, we will set up in front of trees, flowers and buildings and paint directly from what we see in front of us. 

For our second project we will paint self-portraits inspired by the wonderful work of Frida Kahlo, who painted herself in many settings paying close attention to how she appeared to the viewer. In both projects the focus will be on painting what we see in front of us.

Sip and Paint

MUST BE 21 AND OVER

Focusing on a single painting by artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Georgia O’Keefe, we will complete a painting each session.

We’re open to suggestions on what to paint, so if you’re feeling an urge to paint a seascape, flowers, cityscape or something else, let us know and we can do that!

Come and have fun, make new friends, and paint and draw as you drink the beverage of your choice (BYOB).
