For centuries it’s been common practice to copy and learn from the works of master artists. For this eye-opening class, Robin has chosen 6 artists with a wide range of styles — from traditional to contemporary. Each week we’ll study an artist and then complete a small painting based on their style. This is a wonderful way to expand your creative thinking, discover new subjects and master new techniques such as brushwork and color mixing. You’ll gain a sense of what appeals to you most in style and color. Above all, you’ll have 6 weeks of FUN and enlightenment as we learn from a variety of master painters.
