Artists enjoy painting in the golden hour because everything becomes progressively more interesting and exciting as shadows lengthen and one is forced to work quickly. Daily demonstrations in acrylic, oil, pastel, and watercolor will be short to allow students time to work.
On the first day we will meet at Sunset Point Park on the grass. Subsequent locations will be based on students’ preferences. Please note that there may be locations without immediate access to restroom facilities. Please plan ahead.
Since instruction is individual, artists of any level may participate and paint whatever type of scene they prefer.
No matter how warm it is when you leave home, bring a jacket anyway.
DIRECTIONS to Sunset Point Park :
From I-5 take Sea World Drive West to Ingraham St/West Mission Bay Drive.
