“More Than a Painting” Art Class with Nancy
Mitchell, Thursday, August 12, 2021 from 5:30-8:30 p.m.
Finally, we have a painting class! Join Nancy Mitchell in
painting Van Gogh's "Olive Orchard." Nancy says, “It has
been too long and I am missing my students!”
Classes
suit both artists and beginners. Nancy Mitchell believes
anyone can learn to draw and be creative. However, in
today’s world not many people have time for weekly art
classes. Each three hour class is based on a painting she
designs to mimic the style of a renowned artist. The
step-by-step process enables each student to recreate the
painting, adding their personal style. Students also learn
basics about composition and color mixing. In addition to
artist facts and a touch of art history throughout the
lesson, students receive a handout on the artist. The
students leave with a finished art piece to hang in their
home at the end of their class. Nancy Mitchell has been
teaching art for 36 years. As an educator and artist, she
practices a variety of media including basic drawing, batik
workshops and charcoal.
Registration is $45/SCHF Members and
$50/Non-Members (includes all supplies) for each class. For
reservations or more information, please contact the SCHF
office at 601.631.2997 or email
