Class Description
Four sessions filled with the rich colors of autumn! We will focus on the fall season with its trees, leaves, and grasses. During each class session of 2-1/2 hours, students will draw then paint the brilliant colorful aspects of trees and leaves. The first class will feature red MAPLE trees and leaves, followed by BIRCH trees, POPLAR, and WHITE PINE. Students will experiment with color, learn better how to paint the color they WANT to see, and avoid mixing mud. At the end of each lesson, students will have a completed work to sign, take home, and frame. MATERIALS LIST.

PRIVATE LESSONS
Some students prefer painting one-on-one with an instructor. If you would like to arrange private or small-group lessons once or twice each month, contact Louise to arrange.

Comments from painters who have taken lessons from Louise:

  • "Where do I begin to describe all that I learned (which is SO much): shapes, to simplify, understand and draw structure of the face, and that it's OK to make a mistake."
  • “This workshop MORE than met my expectations."
  • "Your enthusiasm and teaching methods are inspiring!"
  • "You got the knowledge across to all!"
  • "The more I learn, the more I am able to learn."
  • "Wonderful workshop, such a treat!"
  • "I learned how to make a quick contour drawing to loosen up."
  • "The instruction and demos were valuable."
  • "You took me from never drawing a face, to drawing and painting portraits I was proud of."
  • "You took a serious subject (portraits) and still built humor and fun into the class."
  • "I wish I could come every year!"
  • "It was great drawing from the model."
  • "Your obvious passion for people is contagious in your class."
•
"There is color over all colors which unite them and which is more important than the individual colors. At sunset the sun glows. the color of the grasses, figures and houses may be lighter or darker or different, but over each there is the sunset glow."
~ ROBERT HENRI
