Hello Everyone,
In case you're wondering where I've been and when classes will resume I just posted a couple for September.
This has been the busiest summer we've had in a long time. Now that things are winding down I'm looking forward to holding classes again.
The painting on Sept. 12th is from season 33 with Nicholas Hankins. His version is called "Nolichucky Summertime" but I thought since its almost Autumn we could add some color to it.
I have done Purple Haze a few times but it is a favorite and we could change up the colors for more Autumn hues.
When registering for a class if you do not receive an almost immediate confirmation please email me at janice@paintingbug.com. It may not have gone through correctly.
When you register for a class you will get 2 reminders. One at 4 days before the class and another the day before class.
Also, if you try to register for a class and it's "Sold Out" email me. I may be able to add another person or let you know if there's a cancellation.
See you soon,
Janice
All classes are $50 which includes all supplies.
We will take a short break during class so bring a snack if you'd like. Water, coffee and tea are provided. Also, there is a small refridgerator if you need to keep anything cold. Weather permitting we can have our break on the new deck.
Class times are 9:00 am - 1:00 pm. However, the 1:00 pm end time may vary depending on the painting and pace of the class.
Keep in mind that you'll be going home with a wet oil painting that will need to lay flat in the car. Some people use a large pizza box (bigger than 16 x 20) or you can purchase wet canvas carriers online.
Class size is limited to 6 - 8 students, depending on the painting.
If you've registered for a class and are unable to attend please let me know as soon as possible so I can release your spot to someone else.

Artist Tip: Take care of your brushes. Make sure you clean them thoroughly. I've found that standing brushes up after they've been cleaned will help drain out more of the thinner. Also, make sure to clean the handles of your brushes. The average time for an oil painting to dry, when painted in the wet-on-wet technique, can be two to three weeks to the touch and up to about six months to one year to dry completely.
