All materials will be provided.  There is a $20 materials fee included in the registration fee.

This class is offered at a drastically reduced price due to the generous funding provided by the Shallow Ford Foundation.

About the Instructor: 

Arlene Daniel is a painter with over 30 years of experience working in oil, acrylic, pastel and charcoal.  Largely self-taught, she has also studied with several nationally recognized artists. These influences, along with years of dedicated practice, have helped shape her distinctive approach to painting.

Arlene’s work is rooted in a love for capturing light, atmosphere and the subtle color relationships found in nature.  She is particularly drawn to plein air painting, where working directly from life allows her to experience the joy of  translating the fleeting qualities of light and color onto canvas.
