&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Say goodbye to summer and hello to fall! Using reference photos (yours or mine), we’ll create two acrylic paintings: summer flowers and fall leaves. This class includes instruction on composition, drawing, and a step-by-step&lt;br&gt;
painting process.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;Materials list below&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font&gt;Instructor: Cheryl Templeton&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;Dates: Fridays 9/25 - 11/6 (6 sessions)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;No class 10/30&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Time: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;- Two canvases of equal size. 16x20" recommended.&lt;br&gt;
- Recommended paint colors (I use Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylics): Titanium White, Burnt Umber, Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Red Medium, Cadmium Yellow Medium, and Yellow Ochre/Yellow Oxide, and Sap Green.&lt;br&gt;
- A range of brush sizes, including one quite large 1.5-2in brush for background work (like you might get at a home improvement store). I tend to use bright brushes, but flats and filberts can also come in handy. Some small round brushes for details.&lt;br&gt;
- Palette paper in grey, such as Jack Richeson Grey Matters Paper Palette&lt;br&gt;
- Small misting spray bottle to moisten paint on a palette.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;- Two canvases of equal size. 16x20" recommended.&lt;br&gt;
- Recommended paint colors (I use Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylics): Titanium White, Burnt Umber, Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Red Medium, Cadmium Yellow Medium, and Yellow Ochre/Yellow Oxide, and Sap Green.&lt;br&gt;
- A range of brush sizes, including one quite large 1.5-2in brush for background work (like you might get at a home improvement store). I tend to use bright brushes, but flats and filberts can also come in handy. Some small round brushes for details.&lt;br&gt;
- Palette paper in grey, such as Jack Richeson Grey Matters Paper Palette&lt;br&gt;
- Small misting spray bottle to moisten paint on a palette.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Join us for a traditional Chinese art form that uses ink and brush to create expressive, often&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;symbolic works on paper or silk.

&lt;font&gt;Painting with watercolors is such a fluid and exciting process. We will explore the unique qualities of watercolors and cover a variety of watercolor techniques as we create our paintings. Supplies and the processes to complete works of art will be reviewed.

&lt;font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Say goodbye to summer and hello to fall! Using reference photos (yours or mine), we’ll create two acrylic paintings: summer flowers and fall leaves. This class includes instruction on composition, drawing, and a step-by-step&lt;br&gt;
painting process.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;Materials list below&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font&gt;Instructor: Cheryl Templeton&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;Dates: Fridays 9/25 - 11/6 (6 sessions)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;No class 10/30&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Time: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials list&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="" color="#333333"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;- Two canvases of equal size. 16x20" recommended.&lt;br&gt;
- Recommended paint colors (I use Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylics): Titanium White, Burnt Umber, Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Red Medium, Cadmium Yellow Medium, and Yellow Ochre/Yellow Oxide, and Sap Green.&lt;br&gt;
- A range of brush sizes, including one quite large 1.5-2in brush for background work (like you might get at a home improvement store). I tend to use bright brushes, but flats and filberts can also come in handy. Some small round brushes for details.&lt;br&gt;
- Palette paper in grey, such as Jack Richeson Grey Matters Paper Palette&lt;br&gt;
- Small misting spray bottle to moisten paint on a palette.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;- Two canvases of equal size. 16x20" recommended.&lt;br&gt;
- Recommended paint colors (I use Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylics): Titanium White, Burnt Umber, Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Red Medium, Cadmium Yellow Medium, and Yellow Ochre/Yellow Oxide, and Sap Green.&lt;br&gt;
- A range of brush sizes, including one quite large 1.5-2in brush for background work (like you might get at a home improvement store). I tend to use bright brushes, but flats and filberts can also come in handy. Some small round brushes for details.&lt;br&gt;
- Palette paper in grey, such as Jack Richeson Grey Matters Paper Palette&lt;br&gt;
- Small misting spray bottle to moisten paint on a palette.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
