Last season, Enid stressed color.  I took several of the classes and it really reinforced principals and allowed me to express my ideas with guidance to push my painting to complete my plan.  It was good for me.  It is not often that you can work with such an experienced artist for such a low fee.


In October, I will teach the class.  It will be on Five Values in Still Life Painting.  This idea helps in painting in general.  I hope to see you in class.  We will paint from life.  Use my set up or bring your own items for the still life along with your supplies.  I recommend working in at least 11 x 14 inches or larger and use a foam core base or other support on an easel.  Much easier to paint upright and get movement in your work.  It also keeps your painting clean.

Almost Tea Time
