Class will include a 20-minute landscape painting demonstration video and several steps to help you focus and organize your space so you are free to paint fearlessly.

In this class, Elaine Weiner-Reed (https://www.elaineweinerreed.com) will demonstrate how to paint a waterfall painting and sky. To make the composition fresh and original, she leveraged her feelings and memory, an oil painting she painted many years ago, and a magazine photo of a dramatic sky. The result is a unique expressive revision of her more representational oil painting. Her teaching video illustrates how to create fearless paintings based on “real” places in time – your favorite and inspiring places.
