Breath of Spring

It's time to leave snow paintings behind and let the promise of spring inspire florals. Four classes are planned for April - the details are on the form.  We'll not only be painting spring flowers, we'll be experimenting with different surfaces, clayboard, yupo and Twin Rocker handmade paper.

Painting Winter Snow Classes

We've managed to stretch the four week painting winter snow classes to six weeks because of....SNOW!  If any inspiration was needed, it's been all around us.  One of the students said that painting snow was helping her see it with different eyes and even cope with the winter we've had.  We've painted snow on trees, a red building with bright blue sky, sunset or sunrise landscape and tomorrow I'll be teaching how to paint "white on white."  Learning that snow is not just plain white has been a big part of these classes as well as noticing shadows.  As much as I love snow, I'll be ready to move on to the next season for the next set of classes!
