Summer Inspirations with Anne Laddon

Summer Session 1

Next 4 Class Session: Friday, July 10, 17, 24, 31: 10 am - 12 pm

Anne is finding beauty everywhere this summer and you can paint along side her in these special virtual lessons direct from her studio. Different subject matter will inspire each class. Anne will provide videos and photo reference for hayfields along Highway 46, a coastal seascape, a gorgeous Templeton garden and, of course, the agricultural subjects at her ranch. Prior to each class, Anne will send a video introduction so students can prepare. Then she will demonstrate, explain, and critique using Zoom.

Plan to login at 10 am with canvases prepped, colors and supplies laid out, so you can build the painting together. The sessions will be recorded and available to rewatch afterward. Sarah Ambrose from Studios will facilitate.
