This class is being offered through the University of Wisconsin Extension Program.

NEW Painting the still life: au premier coup/plein air

In this five-week class we focus on technical and conceptual methods of alla prima/plein air painting, completing a painting in one day. We paint from still lifes set up in class. As weather permits we also paint outdoors. In each session we address different painting problems and explore ways to solve them. We also explore color theory, drawing, and design. Painting experience preferred but not required.
