This class will cover basic design principles and beginning gouache techniques. All levels are welcome. If you are a beginner to painting, Alma will teach you foundational brush strokes that make up many flowers, leaves, and berries. More experienced painters will have the freedom to create their own design. Enough materials will be provided to paint three 8x8 inch wreaths. You can paint one for your home or paint several to give as gifts this holiday season!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis class will take place at Swoon City.

I learned how to find edible fruits in the woods and edible seaweeds on the beach. My father grew both an edible and ornamental garden as I do today. As an elementary school teacher, I conducted classes in the school garden, took my students on walks in the woods and on the beach, taught them to keep a nature journal, and painted along-side my students during art class. As a now 20+ resident of the Pacific Northwest, I spend much of my time on our beaches and in the woods. I nature journal in the field and bring my experiences home as inspiration into my art. This class is not a paint-by-numbers type class. Rather, Alma will guide you through the foundational skills and concepts so you can create your own design. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alma Alonzo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50836100153587,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/3644\/3489\/files\/IMG_7450_eb040896-3fb3-4fd1-8ef3-1f6aa7e4dbfd.jpg?v=1788382940","url":"https:\/\/swoon.city\/products\/art-class-painted-wreaths","provider":"Swoon City","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
