In the first weeks of this course, Sue will teach you how to easily break down and simplify a painting from the Group of Seven. She will show you how to mix and apply the colours, and how to add details to finish the painting. The next weeks are your choice. Bring in a photograph or a painting you’ve always admired and use the techniques you learned in the first few weeks, and apply them to your personal project. There will be lots of one-on-one instruction. Sue DelBianco Materials List Spring 2025

Whether you have been to Ireland, are planning a trip soon, or just share a love of infinite greens and greys, join us! I have traveled to Ireland many times and love to paint the amazing landscapes there. Paint with me, using the photo references I will supply. The greens and overcast skies are some of the most challenging  aspects to capture. From coastal harbours to old castles, villages and majestic, tree lined roads, we will create some fabulous paintings. I will demonstrate my painting process with ample time in class to paint your version of the scene. As always, feedback and encouragement are guaranteed at every step of the journey.
