This class is for anyone excited about the possibility of a new hobby, and also for those who already paint looking to grow and share your painting skills. We will explore the exciting world of making your own paintings, and how to have fun doing it! We will talk about how to paint from life, still life, and photos. In the course of six 2.5 hour sessions, we will talk about, demonstrate, and try for ourselves: materials, color mixing, composition, and learning to see as an artist.
Tuesdays, October 6 – November 10, 2:00-4:30 PM in the Church’s Fellowship Hall
Please bring to the first class: 1-2 medium drawing pencils, an eraser, and an 8”x10” pad of drawing paper
NOTE: For the health and safety of all participants, we will keep plenty of space between work stations; MASKS AND GLOVES REQUIRED
In the first class, we will discuss what materials are needed for the remaining classes. If you do not have any oil painting materials, you should anticipate buying them (costs range from $75 upwards).
$10.00/class, collected on the day of the lessons

Instructor: Bob Stradling, Pastor of Vision Fellowship at the First Baptist Church of Malvern, paints mostly to have fun, but he has also sold many paintings in a blend of realist/impressionist styles. Bob has studied with Jon Redmond and Anne Graham, and several of his paintings can be seen exhibited in the Fellowship Hall of the Church.
Will there be more painting classes offered this winter? Sorry I missed the class this Fall.
We are hoping to restart programs in the spring (Covid-permitting!) and if there is enough interest in more painting classes, we will try to organize them. So far we have offered water colors and oil painting. What kind of art classes would you be interested in taking? you can reply to me by email at info@malvernarts.org. Thanks for reaching out!
