6. A Little Night Painting

Kevin Inman 

Wednesday, 5:30–8 PM 
December 16 

On location in Point Loma 

(1 day, 2.5 total hours of instruction) 
$30/50 

Join Kevin Inman to paint holiday lights, illuminated snowmen, and Santa’s elves on location in some of the most blinged out streets of the city in Point Loma. 

Painting outdoors gives the artist the opportunity to experiment with light, color, and atmosphere. Work with San Diego landscape painter Kevin Inman to learn how to paint spontaneously, appreciate nature, and enjoy the moment. Topics include color mixing, design, and how to let go of your inner critic.
