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.
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.
Register early - classes fill quickly.
Plein Air Classes for the Summer session start June 26th.
In the Summer and Fall all Adult Painting classes go outside to paint in and around the San Luis Valley.
This is the best way to experience Colorado's fabulous landscape - in safe settings with parking, shade and instruction.
Students provide their own supplies.
Plein Air classes are offered in 8 week sessions: July & August, and September & October.
You can now simply go to the site to register or to drop-in for a PLEIN AIR class.
In an effort to streamline the process, Painters can register in the field and pay without going to the Rec Center for a receipt.
Full registration is $120. for 8 weeks of painting, or drop-in on a class for $18.
Pay at the site: CASH or checks made out to Coni Grant.
The First Plein Air meeting: June 26, 9am to 1pm
at Blanca Vista Park in Alamosa: take State St. north out of town, turn into the small parking lot on the east side of the road, across the street from Cattails Golf Course.
Location Schedules for the entire summer session will be handed out at that time.
