Painting & Drawing
"How To" Quick Study - A Focus on Specific Subjects
Shirley DeLaet
If you want to learn, or if you have had problems in the past when painting reflections, glass, and/or rocks, these will be the classes to learn them in. In this class we will not be painting the full painting, instead we will be painting what it takes to create reflections, glass and rocks. We will delve into a different subject in each class. Focusing our attention on painting one subject at a time gives us a hands-on experience to do it in just one class. Come prepared to take notes as we paint so you can apply it to your future paintings.

Shirley DeLaet is a self-taught artist whose work includes illustration, design, and the fine art of oil & watercolor painting. Within it all, lies her passion for the beauty found within everyday life. Her subjects are intentionally varied
and filled with the discovery of underlying beauty found in the ordinary, and sometimes, in the strangest of things. She doesn’t hesitate to add a surprise, or a touch of humor, in her works providing it tells the story she wants to depict. Everyday life sparks her inspiration and labels of genre do not confine her imagination. |
