On Wednesdays, beginning this week and running through May 20, artist Nina Louton will lead watercolor and acrylic painting classes from 9 a.m. to noon in CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs Senior Center, 210 Woodbine.
Students will learn basics in drawing, painting design and color theory, but concentrate on techniques of watercolor and acrylics on paper. Students can expect to complete three or four paintings within the eight-week course. The class fee of $150 will be collected by Louton on the first day of instruction.
Some supplies will be available for purchase or students may bring their own, except for paper. Brushes, misket, boards, watercolor paper (Arches, No. 140 cold press, size around 11-by-15 inches), and a good box of 18 tubes of watercolors and acrylics less than $20 will be available for purchase. Boards, tape, paper towels, container top for pallet, and water containers will be provided or participants may bring their own.
Drawing skills are not necessary and beginners to experienced artist are welcome. Photos may be brought to use as possible choices for paintings.
Louton has a master's degree from Henderson State University and 39 years of teaching experience with all ages. She exhibits regularly at the Artists' Workshop Gallery and her studio at 110/114 Mountain View St. Her work may also be seen at http://www.arkansasarts.com or http://wwwarkansasartists.com.
