For the remainder of the classes that month, all participants work to complete 1 or 2 paintings . Subject matter varies but often includes landscape, florals, buildings, and still life objects. Don't let not knowing how to draw stop you from taking this class. Participants have the option of tracing images or drawing from photographs.
