The Art of Landscape CompositionThursdays, November 18 – December 16 (no class 11/25), 10:15a-12:15pEvery good drawing or painting begins with a good composition.

Examples, demos, and class discussion will provide students with feedback and direction.

That One Dang Painting!
at my studio 521 Wisconsin Avenue, Waukesha
Tuesdays, October 19 – November 9, 10:15a-12:15p

We all have one. (Myself included.) That one painting we just can’t finish no matter how hard we try. In this class we will focus on group discussion, critique, and a little art theory to help answer the age old question… “is it done?” Media is open, though space and ventilation is best for acrylics, watercolors, or collage/mixed media. Discussion will be paired with work time to help you finally finish the one (or 5) dang paintings.

Cost: $65 Supplies not included

Painting Skies

Thursdays, October 21– November 11, 10:15a-12:15p
