Witness your child’s first painting with no mess at home. Your little one will make a creative keepsake for the family to cherish. Not only is finger painting tons of fun, it is also an excellent feeling (kinesthetic) experience and is fantastic for the development of all the big and small muscles in your growing child’s fingers, arms, shoulders, neck and back. Finger painting is wonderful for the development of color recognition, experimentation and color mixing and is terrific for developing creativity.

Dress for a mess! Messy play for babies and toddlers is crucial to healthy sensory development. Messy activities provide important foundational building blocks, sensory experiences and muscle and brain growth, all of which prepare children for later success and learning.

Join this class to explore the unique character and enduring beauty of bristlecone pine trees in watercolor. Through a combination of wet-in-wet, wet-in-damp, and controlled wet-on-dry techniques, students will practice rendering expressive branching structures, twisted forms, and weathered trunks set against atmospheric backgrounds. You will learn how to convey age, resilience, and movement through intentional line quality, transparent layering (glazing), and strong value contrast, while simplifying complex natural forms into compelling compositions.

To complete the painting, we will also develop rocky terrain and high-elevation landscapes, using subtle shifts in temperature and color variation to create depth, light, and mood. By the end of the class, students will have a deeper understanding of how to capture texture, structure, and atmosphere in the landscape
