Plants and People, July

Dwayne will teach a 3 week class on Sunday mornings beginning July 14 at the Downtown Art Center.  Plants and people add ​life, scale, color, and movement to paintings.  People humanize landscape paintings.  Vegetation is fundamental to the execution of landscape painting.  Dwayne will explain approaches to painting these important elements with specific attention to gesture techniques that capture and suggest these elements without getting wrapped around detail that often destroys good paintings.  Best to have a basic understanding of watercolor.  Sign up on the Downtown Art Center website for classes:  https://www.downtownarthi.org/classes  (Posting is pending)
