iday, Oct. 31, and Saturday, Nov. 1

Simple shapes need to be identified before the complexity of a painting can be achieved. Working with a variety of art materials, students will learn how to "see" the larger shapes that create depth in a painting, and develop techniques for a successful landscape painting. Carol believes humor is essential during every learning process!

A materials list will be provided at time of registration. Call 952-443-1422 for registration and information. 

An exhibit of Carol (aka. Gray) McIntyre's and Karen Knutson's paintings will be featured in the Arboretum's Reedy Gallery in November and December. To learn more about Carol and see examples of Carol's paintings, visit to www.paintingharmony.com
