Students are invited to bring in any piece of work in progress — all media and styles of art. It can be acrylic, watercolor, oil, pastel, or mixed media — abstract to realistic, landscape to still life. You create it and bring it in for a critique or advice on how to proceed to finish and continue in class. When time allows, Cliff will give a demo and talk about an aspect of art, design, composition, mark making, materials, etc. that students inquire about. Students will be limited to two paintings for a critique so that everyone can have time to paint and observe. This will be a very interactive class in which students and instructor will work intuitively together.

After many years working in the corporate field, Ball Aerospace to Douglas Aircraft, the love of landscape painting never diminished.
