This Class is open to ALL LEVELS OF STUDENTS but is meant as a Studio Class, meaning that each student will work at their own pace and on any subject and medium of their own choosing with guidance from the instructor. Students will receive professional INDIVIDUAL instruction and critiques along with suggestions meant to help them advance as artists. Periodic demonstrations will be presented as requested or needed.

NEW STUDENTS with little or no painting experience are encouraged to take the single ORIENTATION CLASS for PAINTING prior to registering for regular classes. The Painting Orientation Class will be offered at various times during the year. Check the club calendar for dates.
