    A fun and light class where we celebrate the beginning of summer, while exploring the colors, shapes and subjects that express the tropics. Students will learn the color palette for clear crisp tropical colors, How to paint palmtrees, clear water and beach sand. Students can paint 1 or 2 (or more) paintings. We'll work from b/w photos to allow freedom of color selection.

    Lunch break at noon. Group critic at the end of each day over a freshly blended tropical rum drink. (provided by Debra)

    Learn to paint the swamps, beaches and palms of South Florida, WITHOUT having to stand in water up to your knees, battle alligators, or wrestle pythons!

    I will provide a slide show and copies of the tropical landscape to use for reference, or you can bring your own. Let your imagination run wild!

    See materials list for suggested supplies.  Debra will be teaching in oils. Students are welcome to use oil, acrylic, watercolor or guache.
