Ongoing Wednesday Painting Class
hosted by Ned Mueller AIS-OPA Master

This ongoing class is designed to help each individual with the information and process to take your work to a higher level. For the most part we will be using photos to work from and learning not to just copy, but to interpret!  I will be giving demos and presentations of the process I use to create a better work of art by learning and applying the elements and principles of design. It is our job to employ these elements and principles to make our paintings more compelling and interesting. I hope you can join us.
