Class Content: Participants will produce a painting (either 13″ x 19″ if experienced) or two smaller ones (if this is a first attempt). All need to have floral images and personal photos are preferred. An alternative is to seek a good floral composition on the internet, however, the resulting art cannot be regarded as original for competition purposes. I am willing to check possible references to give advice on composition. I can print the selected sizes on my Epson printer for a fee. The goal is to have one or two frameable works of art upon the end of the class, which may be used in the Tellico Village Art Guild Exhibit in the Spring. Demonstrations given in pouring and negative painting up close and personal, and individual guidance/critiques will be given. Contact Lee with questions.
