2019 Scenic Painting Class @ Tawas Bay
We are excited to offer a SCENIC PAINTING CLASS, hosted by our friends at Witz End Players
SCENIC PAINTING with KATHERINE R MISHLER
This class will discuss topics such as color theory in scenic art, as well as specific textures used in scenic painting. There will be a short lecture on the basics of scenic design and painting, followed by a demonstration and instructional period of four of the main textures used in interior scenic painting in which the class will participate. A short demonstration of exterior scenic textures will be done toward the end of the class. Participants should expect to get a little messy, so dress appropriately, and be ready to mix, texture, and have fun. The class is $35 per person, includes supplies as well as a light lunch.
