Classes
Don offers two types of classes, a Workshop and a Class.
Adult Class: These classes are a five hour class in which you will learn all of the techniques required to leave the class with a painting that you have completed. Please see Calendar for dates and times.
Children's Class: These classes are for children in 3rd grade through 8th grade. The student will have the opportunity to complete a painting in the 2½ hour class. Parents are invited to observe the class. The class will be restricted to 6 students. Please see Calendar for dates and times.
Workshop: Don offers a 2½ workshop that is completed in two sessions (Shrewsbury) and a 1½ workshop that is completed in 4 sessions(Howell). In September the Howell workshop will be changed to a two session workshop. In the first session of each work shop you will begin your painting, learning the technique for that portion of the painting. During each of the following sessions you will complete selected portions of your painting while learning the techniques for that portion. At the end of the final session, you will have completed the entire painting and you will have learned all of the techniques required for that painting. This format applies to all Workshop. Please see Calendar for dates and times.
Intermediate Class: This class is for folks who have had experience in the Wet-on-Wet technique. It will consist of two 2½ hour sessions. You will spend the whole first session being taught and practicing the techniques required to complete your painting. In the second session you will actually paint and complete your painting. Please see Calendar for dates and times.
