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.
