Interested in no-pressure way to practice acrylic painting? No matter your experience level, you will enjoy exploring tips and techniques with a group of like-minded art enthusiasts. If the weather is nice we will pack up our portable easels and paint on the scenic grounds of the Franklin Rec Complex (along the Harpeth River). On rainy/windy days, we will set up a still life indoors to practice rendering forms, values, tones, and shadows using acrylic paints. Registration is required to reserve your spot -- enrollment is limited to 6 people. You will be hosted by WCPR instructor and painting enthusiast Joan Wilkes -- (not a professional artist!) who encourages everyone to pick up a paintbrush and enjoy recreating the beauty that is all around.  (Watercolor, chalk, and charcoal artists welcome.)

For oils and/or master-level instruction, please try WCPR's Landscape Oil Painting / Plein Air and Open Studio Drawing and Painting classes with professional artist Kimberly Daniel.

Dress for the outdoors, bring water if you like, and be prepared to stand and walk through uneven ground. If you prefer your own supplies, bring them -- basic acrylic paints, brushes, paper, and easels will be provided.

Now more than ever we all can benefit from learning how to work out thoughts and feelings -- Artist Suzanne Beaumar will show the way in this on-going, 2-hour, once-a-week art journaling class! Enjoy art journaling as a way to try an idea before committing it to a canvas. Learn to use a variety of mediums and techniques as you journal with water-reactive tools that turn your thoughts into background color; see how to reverse write in a big, bold chunky style that showcases a funny thought or fun memory; consider using positive support words to add interest and texture to a page... all of these mindfulness techniques help to calm and relax a racing mind when living in uncertain and stressful times. (Projects will vary from image.) Limited enrollment available due to social distancing.
*An additional supply fee of $5 (cash or check payable to instructor) is due at the beginning of each class, plus a one-time $20 fee for a base journal hand-made by instructor Suzanne Beaumar.  Join anytime -- registration fee will be pro-rated based on number of classes remaining in the month.
