Many of last year's students agree - this was the most enjoyable class
they ever attended and did not want to see it end! Come early and enjoy
your dinner at Ursula's Restaurant (located across the street) or dine
"plein air" on a picnic table overlooking the scenic Hudson River. As
the class begins, enjoy the company of your fellow artists, some good,
solid instruction and loads of inspiration.
This class is for beginner, intermediate and advanced students who are
interested in studying traditional methods of painting. This course is
designed to take advantage of the historic Hudson River School
landscape painting techniques and will explore painting sunsets on the
Hudson River.
The class will meet at The Athens Riverside Park, weather permitting,
or at the Athens Cultural and Arts Center during inclement weather.
Oils, Acrylics with "wet" pallets, Watercolors, Pastels and Pencil
(Graphite, Colored or Charcoal) can be used. Classes begin at 5:30pm
through 8:30pm. To ensure individual instruction there is a maximum
enrollment of twelve.
