Description

Learn how to capture the natural world on canvas in our landscape painting workshop. Instructor Paul Richmond will spend the entire two-hour session painting a landscape from scratch. Students are invited to paint along with the instructor, either using the same reference or working on a landscape of their own choosing. This is a beginner level class but students of all experience levels are welcome.
