This engaging, playful 2-hour class includes all supplies (paint, brushes, canvas) with all skill levels welcome. Everyone will leave with a finished Ithaca nature scene on stretched canvas. Professional illustrator Laura Baran provides step-by-step painting instruction. We map out a composition in pencil, adjust paint transparency with water, mix colors, layer brushstrokes, and discuss easy color tricks to add dimension.
