Scrubbed and Dyed Landscape (with history) With Artist Nina Irwin
Landscape painting has a unique place in the history of American art. Our American landscape has always been a big part of our identity as a country. In this class, we will explore some of the history of landscape painting from the past and into the present. Thinking about our own relationship with nature, we will create our own, unique landscape painting by mostly scrubbing and dying the surface of a painting panel. At the end of the class, we will enjoy the "gallery" of the works and reflect on their meaning and relationship to each other. No prior art experience required.

My art and art history inspired classes and workshops are great ways to expand your mind and skills while enjoying a really fun experience with other people, enriching those relationships. Stimulating creativity awakens many parts of your brain. Trying new things engages fresh experiences that reinvigorate your life with energy and excitement. These classes are really geared to bring out the natural artist in every human being so no prior experience in art is always fine. I specialize in making people very comfortable and non-stressed while creating a beautiful piece of art to treasure. The classes always include an art history talk which enriches the experience greatly and connects us with incredible human beings/artists from different periods and cultures.
Overcoming a small fear (like trying an art class) can inspire you to take more chances and be more productive in life! Creative work helps you to get to know yourself better. It is also incredibly rewarding and focused time away from worries in our lives. In addition, many of these classes have to do with gratitude (an energizing mindset) and our relationships with others.
