Instructor: Lisbeth Firmin
Monday - Thursday
June 30 - July 3
9am - 1pm
4 sessions 

Students will be setting up outdoors to paint urban landscapes in the streets around Provincetown and Truro. Firmin will be instructing them in her technique of working quickly, using big brushes and bold color. NO drawing! Starting on Monday at a site to be announced, students will meet and Firmin will do a demonstration, after which students will set up and work on their own painting. Each succeeding day will be at a different urban location, and there will always be a demonstration to start. At the end of each class students will gather and critique the day’s work. This workshop is structured for both beginners and advanced painters who want to expand their painting skills. Students do NOT need a lot of experience to benefit greatly from this class.
