This class is open to beginners as well as those looking to build upon prior experience in landscape oil painting along the Eastern Promenade and the Audubon sanctuary in Falmouth, weather permitting. The objective will be in developing color accuracy, new painting techniques, and gaining a better understanding of composition. These skills can be applied to online classes as well based on photos from the same locations. Mindfulness tools will be utilized for minimizing inhibitions and fears associated with the creative process. Masks and proper social distancing will be practiced during this class. A supply list and further information will be provided when class is determined to run.
