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, helping students at all levels. Advanced painters improve while new students jump in without missing out on basics.
Summer and Fall Plein Air sessions.
All classes go out to paint en plein air in and around Alamosa beginning July 7, 2022
