    Announcing the Traditions Painting Education Program:

    A developmental decorative painting program for all skill levels from beginner to advanced.

    If you are a beginning painter interested in learning the art of decorative painting or a "seasoned" painter who has begun to look for more, this is the series for you: spend an evening a week in the company of other artists exploring your inner creativity and investing in your art education with the Traditions Painting Education Program.

    While painting beautiful trays, trunks, and other surfaces for your home, this system will take you from the basics to the advanced in painting techniques as well as fill in the blanks and provide the advanced painter with the knowledge that was missed while just painting projects.

    The Traditions course is a sequential program consisting of 3 sections (A, B, and C) with 10 lessons in each section (for a total of 30 lessons) that gradually increase in difficulty and skill level. Along the way, you will enjoy the camaraderie of other students, the joy of creativity and the rich history of the decorative painting styles.

    Advanced Level Classes:

    The section C classes are especially appropriate for individuals who have strong painting skills using acrylics and have developed such skills as painting advanced strokes like scrolls and teardrops, establishing a light source by using value and intensity, using the camaieu and grisaille techniques, creating dimensional control, painting wet on wet with both blending and strokework and using block and blend. The section 6 classes are broken in to 3 six week sessions and will result in 8 finished pieces.

    The first six week session will begin Monday, September 16, 2008 at 6:00 pm. Classes will be three hours in length.

    Paint

    Please note that it is a requirement of the Traditions Painting Education Program that each student must paint with the Traditions line. It is the finest quality acrylic which includes top-of-the-line pigments that enable a small drop of paint to cover three times the surface of other paints. The colors never fade and include properties that enable a decorative artist to complete techniques never before possible using an acrylic. We stock the entire line and also offer an economical beginner's ten-pack.
