Class Schedule: Wednesday nights 7-9 pm at 263 N. Main St.

Ongoing Classes means you never have to miss anything! Begin at any time, come when you are able, work at your own pace.

Small classes accommodate a range of levels and offer maximum attention. Everyone is at different levels of experience and there is no timeline for completing a piece. A basic understanding of drawing, color mixing and painting is preferable.

****Complete beginners are encouraged to take 1-2 private or semi-private classes before joining the group class.

“I believe that art should be fun and a relaxing, creative outlet. I teach with non-staining watercolors that are easy to “erase” with water, so it takes the fear out of painting!   I also teach acrylics, pen and ink, chalk pastel, oil pastel and drawing. Come do something for yourself and try your hand at art. Even if you “can’t draw a straight line”, you can paint. Let me show you how!” -Kristi Johnston

Rediscovering Joy

Rediscovered Joy

POSTED ON UPDATED ON

This summer I rediscovered how much I enjoy painting and teaching outdoors, or “en plein air”. I had the pleasure of holding three outdoor classes- two on the cape and one at Beavertail Lighthouse in Jamestown,RI which is pictured above. Everyone had a great time and were unfazed by the environmental challenges like wind, sun and humidity. Mild fall weather makes it the perfect time for painting outside. Now that I have been reminded how much fun it is, I will definitely be planning more outdoor painting classes! Contact me here if this sounds like fun and you’d like to be on the email list for future classes. There will also be many opportunities for plein air painting when we’re in Mexico in March 2016. Read more about that here!

Wishing you Light,

Kristi
