Beginners and repeat students welcome!

If you have ever wanted to develop a painting practice, but need color mixing skills, structured time, and community support, this class is for you!  Geared towards our year-round local Cape population, this class will meet twice a week from 5 to 7 PM in the cozy Harris room of Castle Hill’s main campus. In the colder and darker months, locals will gather as a community to paint with Amy Kandall, who teaches mixing color from primaries in a light and scaffolded way. Students share potluck snacks and organically friendships and bonds will grow in the support of shared studio time. With the support of Amy Kandall, a renowned teacher, and painter working alongside you, you will see your comfort level grow as an artist. Amy will demonstrate color mixing, composition and lead critiques on subject matter of your choice. Developing your personal voice as a Painter will be a consistent and overarching theme. Whether you like working from photo references or still lives, students will make choices based on where they would like their work to go. How to observe is the focus of this class and how to mix colors to match what we observe will be a shared goal. Gouache or Acrylic on paper is advised for beginners and experienced students are encouraged to take the leap into oil paint and canvas. 

 This class will be fun, studious and engaging. It is structured to cement a personal life long practice.
