SUMMARY:Watercolor and Gouache Class: Bridges
DESCRIPTION:Bridges are more than structures—they are stories of connection\, history\, and design. \nIn this class\, students will explore two contrasting bridge subjects: a rustic country covered bridge and an urban bridge. \nParticipants may choose to paint one or both\, or focus on the style that speaks to them most. \nWe’ll break down strong shapes\, repeating patterns\, and perspective while using value and color temperature to create depth. \nEmphasis will be placed on suggesting structure without over-detailing and integrating bridges naturally into their surrounding landscape or cityscape. \nTuition:  $140 (member)/$180 (non-member) \nhttp://www.pineshoresartassociation.org \nEducation@pineshoresartassociation.org \n6095973557 \n

SUMMARY:Beginner Portraits in Oils
DESCRIPTION:Take the mystery (and the fear!) out of painting portraits. A face is just another subject—built from simple shapes\, thoughtful proportions\, and clear values. \nWith patience and guidance\, you’ll learn the essentials of form and anatomy that bring a portrait to life. The rewards are well worth the journey! \nWeek 1: \nWe’ll begin with a brief introduction to composition and lighting. \nUsing just one color\, you’ll map out the major shapes of the head—placing features\, simplifying forms\, and establishing lights and darks. \nThis step-by-step approach allows you to make adjustments easily before moving into paint. \nWeeks 2 & 3: \nYou’ll begin working with a limited palette—only four colors—to understand how subtle and beautiful skin tones can be mixed without overwhelm. \nYou’ll develop a strong foundation in value\, temperature\, and color harmony that can be applied to any medium going forward. \nWhether this is your first portrait—or your first in a long time—you’ll build confidence as you see your painting come to life layer by layer. \nPerfect for beginners or anyone wanting to strengthen their portrait fundamentals. \nhttp://www.pineshoresartassociation.org \npineshoresart@gmail.com \n6095973557 \n
