Announcing Spring 2024 Sessions
Landscape Oil Painting Course - NO EXPERIENCE
Evening Session April 9 - May 14
Landscape painting is perhaps the most accessible way to learn to paint in oils and a wonderful way to engage natural beauty. Using carefully selected and provided materials, instructor Charles DeAntonio leads you through six classes over six weeks. His tested techniques will allow you to begin painting right away. The result is a finished landscape ready to hang on your wall.
This class is tailored for those with little or no experience and is open to ages 15 years and up.
Space is limited to 6 students. Sessions are held over 6 weeks, meeting Tuesdays from 6pm to 7:45pm.
