We paint and interpret from observation, photo or printed references, and imagination. Contemporary and past artists act as kindred spirits and influence weekly prompts. We begin with a demo and warm up canvas , then develop ideas based on colors from one source and imagery from another (artists’ works, participants’ own photos, project ideas etc.) All levels are welcome. Supplies: Contact Alex before purchasing any supplies if you are new to the series. Non-members: $250 for 6 weeks. Members: $200.  Instructor bio: Alex Rheault teaches at UNE and is a local exhibiting artist, curator and writer.
