Class Instruction in Alamosa, Colorado:
Coni teaches year around adult Painting classes through the Alamosa Family Recreation Center.
Classes are offered in 8 week sessions, beginning in January.
Class meetings address foundational painting skills such as design and composition, color mixing, and brush work, - and lessons get us painting landscape, portrait, animals, and still life.
Classes are not consecutive but continuous in nature, serving students at all levels.
Advanced painters improve while new students jump in without missing out on basics.
Plein Air Classes start in July and continue to the end of October 2024
In the Summer and Fall all Adult Painting classes go outside to paint in and around the San Luis Valley.
This is the best way to experience Colorado's fabulous landscape.
