A laid back 4-week class recreating famous paintings while building real painting skills. No pressure, just paint.
About this Event

Ever looked at a famous painting and thought, “How did they do that?” Or even… “I could do that.” Then put your skills to the test!

This 4 week class is all about slowing down, having a good time, and diving into the world of master paintings. Each week, you’ll work from iconic artworks while learning techniques artists have used for centuries, from color mixing to brushwork to composition.

Class Dates:

This class meets on Saturdays from 11am-1pm for 4 weeks.

April 25
May 2
May 9
May 16

The vibe is relaxed and social, but you’ll still walk away with real skills and a deeper understanding of how paintings come together.

We’ll cover:
• Color mixing and layering
• Brush techniques and paint application
• Composition and proportion
• Turning a reference image into your own painted version

High quality prints will be provided, or bring an image of a favorite piece you’ve always wanted to try.

By the end, you’ll have your own take on a masterpiece and probably a new appreciation for the originals.

Materials and supplies provided.
All skill levels welcome.
Only 10 spots available.
