Intro to Painting: Iconic White Lake Landscapes

Learn how to paint from one of three photographic images of iconic landscape scenes from the White Lake area. The shoreline at Duck Lake State Park, the White River Light Station or an image of a classic red barn on M80. (View images here). Students will make their image selection prior to class and instructor, Casey Bemis, will make a preliminary sketch on either a 12”x 12” or 10” x 20” canvas.
