Description
Unwind your day and experiment with oils while jazz plays softly in the background. This course is great for beginner oil painters as well as seasoned artists. Joan will guide the group through a step-by-step process for their first 8×10″ landscape painting. To help with this, photo images will be sent to each participant. Joan will demonstrate along with the class on a larger version of the landscape for students to see the process, to ask questions and to get one on one advice and help. After a class critique and discussion about style, students will choose their own subject matter based on their interests and Joan will work with each artist individually to help them create a successful work of art.
