FALL Plein Air Classes begin Sept 21 - Oct 26, Thursday Mornings from 9 am to noon.
Painting en plein air is a great way to enjoy the Colorado landscape during the most beautiful time of year. The first week we will meet at the Alamosa Rec Center and in the weeks after that we will meet in and around Alamosa from September through October.
Beginners are welcome. For questions, contact Coni thru this website.

Class Instruction in Alamosa, Colorado:
Coni teaches year around adult Painting classes through the Alamosa Family Recreation Center.
Classes are offered in 8 week sessions, beginning in January.
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.
Classes are not consecutive but continuous in nature, serving students at all levels. Advanced painters improve while new students jump in without missing out on basics.
