Let’s harvest the visual beauty at our Painting in the Garden event on Saturday, April 20, at one of our sessions: 10:00 am-12:00 pm OR 1:00-3:00 pm. This event will be a painting lesson al fresco.
Your painting will be a unique creation, guided by personalized attention from our kind and professional artist teacher, Jeannine Luke, a local artist who has taught painting for 30 years. Highly rated among her students, Jeannine Luke paints every day and has paintings hanging in a Tuscany museum.
With step by step instruction, feedback, and encouragement, you will walk away from class with a 8” by 10” painting ready to be framed. There will be a framing demonstration and ideas for home decor. All supplies will be provided including paint, canvas, aprons and easels.
No experience with painting is necessary, just a willingness to see nature in her glory! This guided class provides everything you need for the creative experience of the season. Sign up with a friend and bring a picnic for after the event!
