We'll be playing with loose renderings of historic buildings, a few animal or human characters, beautiful tree shapes and the distant Virginia hills to create simple, pleasing compositions. Then I'll show you how to use historic colors and basic painting techniques to make your scene come to life. You don't need any drawing experience or special tools. I'll provide you with all the materials you need and I will show you how to use provided line art, templates and stencils and Rufus Porter's straight-forward rules for painting landscapes to create something unique and wonderful to use in your home as a wall hanging, fireboard or floorcloth!
