PAINTING CLASSES

​​Painting classes  at  the  Westhaven  Center  for  the  Arts  with artist Jeff Stanley are currently  POSTPONED, but........

1.    We  can  discuss your paintings by meeting  at  an  outdoors  location,  or  by  emailing them to paintingsbyjeffstanley@hotmail.com and scheduling a phone appointment.  

Please call after you email your painting.  (707) 497-8003.

2.    We  might  be  able  to  arrange  a  socially  distanced  outdoors  class  either  in  your  yard,  or  out  on  location.  Please  call  to  talk  about  it.

These painting classes are useful for those who have never picked up a paintbrush (total beginners), or experienced artists who want  to  improve.

*New Students - Plan on arriving one hour early for your first class.  

 **You need to call to sign up!  (707) 497-8003

 ***Classes are Fragrance Free -       Please save your perfumes, colognes,  scented hair sprays, lotions, etc. for another occasion!

Paintings are done with acrylic paint on canvas.  Acrylic paint is a water-based paint.  Easy to use and easy to clean up.           

You can paint whatever you want in the class.    If you want,  you can bring in photographs of things you might like to paint.  Get your photos printed out!!  Your photos might  get marked on or folded.   Or you can look through the reference photos available in the class.  You are also welcome to experiment with the brushes and paint without painting something specific. 

Also, feel free to bring in any paintings you have worked on in the past. Maybe you thought they were finished, but wonder what you could do to improve them.   

Some students prefer to work on their own and only ask questions every once in a while, while others ask questions every step of the way.   Either way or anywhere in between is fine.  

*Remember to bring a snack, tea bag, etc.   There is a refrigerator, stove, and oven available for use.
