It was a very chilly day so we decided to go to Blumel's. It was chilly outside so we went inside which has limited sitting. Next Friday we are going to try out their greenhouse. As usual their drinks and snacks were very yummy. They also have an Local Artist wall for artists.

LANDSCAPE PAINTING CLASS
Have you ever wanted to learn how to paint a landscape?In my FREE class, I will show you my approach to painting. The key to painting complicated scenes is knowing how to see in a simple way. It is about the big simple shapes more than the details.
In the FREE class, I will paint a landscape from a photo using acrylics. Starting with a small sketch and proceeding through to a finished painting. I'll describe what I am doing and why. Colors, composition, values, and materials will be covered.
I have been teaching adults my techniques for a long time. I started teaching on Zoom when the pandemic started and it has worked out very well. Students like it better than in-person classes because they can see me work, we can talk more easily and they don't have to leave home.
The FREE class will happen on
- Tuesday,
- October 26, 2021, at
- 10 am.
To attend:
1.) Go to https://www.fredbellpaintings.
com/freeclass 2.) Sign up and I will send you the photo I will paint and the Zoom link to the class.
This is a relaxed class that will be easy to understand and fun to attend. I hope you can join me.

Thank you Lisa and Terry for the pictures! Getting chilly may have to head indoors soon. Maybe Frame Park next Friday or should we go to Starbucks or Bluemels?
