Still Life Painting for Beginners

About this class

The Contemporary Austin's beginning painting class at Laguna Gloria teaches observational oil or acrylic painting through a weekly session format that covers color mixing, value, composition, and brush technique in a structured multi-week progression on the grounds of a historic lakeside estate. Instructors are working professional artists who give specific, direct guidance during class and help students develop a repeatable painting process rather than just completing a single project. The setting on the lake and surrounded by sculpture gardens makes this one of the most inspiring places in Austin to spend an evening learning to paint.
