See that painting above? I painted that all by myself. Do you like it?
Then you should take my  Fall Landscape class starting next weekend- Saturdays 10-1, Oct 8th thru Nov 5. Fee $180.
We will spend the entire class in one location (Mt. Echo Park) allowing folks the time to work on a piece for multiple sessions.


Interested students are not required to draw a turtle in a hat to be accepted but feel free to draw one on your check.
Come enjoy the cooler weather and the fall colors.  With "Cincinnati's most charming painting teacher", we will meet at a scenic parks to learn to sketch and to paint with oils. Drawing on the ideas of impressionism, you will practice the techniques needed to complete painted sketches, including basic composition, value, pattern, color spotting, and covering the canvas. Then, building on those skills, you will complete a larger fully realized landscape painting that will capture the impression of light and color of the Cincinnati landscape. Details and directions to the various locations will be given in class. No experience necessary
One thing I will be stressing is that what we are doing is landscape painting- and not Plein Air. We are Americans! Students are not allowed to call it 'plein air' unless they are actually French.

I case you are wondering about my credentials read my bio, but I should also mention that I did watch Bob Ross a lot when I was a kid.
