TUESDAYPAINT WITH PEGGYBy: Peggy PorterSchool: Mohonasen High SchoolRoom: 60Fee: R & NR $25 per classLength: 1 night per painting (6:00 -9:30)Skill Level: All – Beginners welcome

Have you ever wanted to try oil painting? Are you afraid you can’t paint because you can’t draw? WELCOME to “Paint with Peggy”! In each class you will create an oil painting. Peggy is a certified Alexander Art Instructor and Wilson Bickford Painting Partner. Each evening the student creates a complete oil painting. These classes do not require drawing skills, and they are also NOT paint-by-number. At the beginning of class every student is provided with a blank canvas, brushes, palette of paints, etc. Then, through classroom instruction, each person creates their own, unique oil painting. Any level of painter will enjoy the classes. Look at photographs of the paintings at: www.paintwithpeggy.com and select which classes you want to attend. Try it! It’s FUN! Peggy can be contacted @ paintwithpeggy@gmail.com or phone at 925-2238.

February 23rd: Lighthouse in Winter – This is a different lighthouse scene - it looks cold and snowy instead of sunny and warm!! Students will paint an isolated lighthouse that sits on a snowy shore. I suggest you bring a box (like a pizza box) to carry home your completed oil painting!

Supply Fee: $20-Due the night of class to the instructor-Just come ready to paint!

March 8th: Moonlit Beach – This painting is created on a black canvas! The moon glow reflects on the waves and sand, framed by sea grass in the foreground. I suggest you bring a box (like a pizza box) to carry home your completed oil painting!

Supply Fee: $20-Due the night of class to the instructor-Just come ready to paint!

April 12th: Summer Meadow – Students will feel like they are standing in a meadow of flowers as they look across at distant mountains. I suggest you bring a box (like a pizza box) to carry home your completed oil painting!

May 10th: Sailing Away – This painting invites you to walk over the hill to watch the sailboats in the distance. I suggest you bring a box (like a pizza box) to carry home your completed oil painting!

Supply Fee: $20-Due the night of class to the instructor-Just come ready to paint!

June 7th: Panoramic Sunset – This sunset is painted on a 10x20” canvas so you will create a panoramic view of the sun setting behind mountains across the water. The student decides if the painting will be soft and pastel or bold and dramatic! I suggest you bring a box (like a pizza box) to carry home your completed oil painting!
