PAT’S DRAWING HORSES, AN IN DEPTH STUDY
Tuesday December 6
10:00 AM to 12 noon
I have always said that you can’t paint a horse properly if you have never brushed one! Even if you haven’t, I have brushed a thousand of them and I can show you how they go together. This class will cover eyes, ears, feet and tails and everything in between. The main thing most artists need to master to add horses to their paintings is proportion. I can help with that. Hand outs for homestudy. All materials provided. $25 members $35 nonmembers.
PAT’S PERSPECTIVE CLASS

10:00 AM to 12 noon
The wrong perspective can make a painting just look wrong. Everybody knows it but they don’t know why. Once you’ve taken this class you will never look at buildings the same way again.
