SUMMARY:Art in the Morning
DESCRIPTION:With local artist Diane Firtell. I truly believe\, that while it is the desire of every artist to produce something meaningful\, maybe even beautiful\, the true gift of artmaking is in the process; the value (dare I say thrill?) we get when we are immersed in the activity and allow the art to emerge. This painting class (working with acrylics and more) is for ALL capabilities. I give lots of personal attention and encourage learning skills (through demos and exercises) to produce the kind of work that allows for honest and exciting expression. There’s a new session starting this coming Tuesday. Want to join us? Space is limited\, contact me to register: diane.firtell@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Art in the Morning
DESCRIPTION:With local artist Diane Firtell. I truly believe\, that while it is the desire of every artist to produce something meaningful\, maybe even beautiful\, the true gift of artmaking is in the process; the value (dare I say thrill?) we get when we are immersed in the activity and allow the art to emerge. This painting class (working with acrylics and more) is for ALL capabilities. I give lots of personal attention and encourage learning skills (through demos and exercises) to produce the kind of work that allows for honest and exciting expression. There’s a new session starting this coming Tuesday. Want to join us? Space is limited\, contact me to register: diane.firtell@gmail.com
