Class Instruction in Alamosa, Colorado:
Coni teaches year around adult Painting classes through the Alamosa Family Recreation Center.

Class meetings address foundational painting skills such as design and composition, color mixing, and brush work, - and lessons get us painting landscape, portrait, animals, and still life.
