Mondays:
Morning Session 10:30 – 12:00
Afternoon Session 1:00 – 2:30
The painting class at Hope Senior Center offers students a place to discover their unexpected talents while enjoying an absorbing activity that takes them away from the stresses of everyday life.
Students use photographs, reproductions of paintings and ideas from imagination to create still life, landscape, portrait or abstract paintings.
Beginning with simple drawings and then using water-based acrylic paint on canvas board they will display their own unique sense of design, paint application and color.
Even those who’ve never drawn or painted before will soon be making beautiful pictures.
