Art club offers online landscape painting class
Posted
The Sun West Art Club announces another online painting experience for March.
Ed Sprafkin will teach Landscape Painting Fundamentals 9 a.m.-noon Tuesdays, March 1-30. In this five-session acrylic painting course, Mr. Sprafkin will cover the fundamental principles that ensure successful paintings. Topics will include design, form, value and color mixing. Weekly live painting demonstrations and critiques will be provided.
Students are welcome to use their photos or sample photos provided by the instructor. This course is ideal for beginning to intermediate students. The student fee for SWAC members is $85, $95 for non-SWAC members (Sun City West resident guests), and $105 for non-resident guests.
Mr. Sprafkin has been teaching drawing and painting professionally for the past 12 years. His focus is landscape painting on location, called “plein air painting,” which he finds both exhilarating and rejuvenating. When the weather does not permit this, he can be found hard at work in his art studio.
