Become more in tune with your surroundings at Selby Gardens by learning how to paint from live observation using either oils or acrylics, your choice! Each week you will explore a new scene in the Gardens to admire and paint. Students will learn how to determine the overall qualities of light, color, space, and form of a scene and how to translate these qualities to their painting quickly and productively. These workshops are suitable for intermediate to advanced students. Register for one class, or a full series! Want to develop your skills before signing up for a series?
