Hi everyone! I’ve got a bunch of classes coming up this spring and I’d love to paint with you. I’ve got a whole range of subjects-skies to flowers to Spokane scenes so hopefully there’s something in here that will appeal to you.

Painting Big Skies

Skies have a huge impact on a painting, sometimes taking up a large amount of the paper, and dramatically affecting the mood and atmosphere of the work. The sky should be considered carefully when planning a painting. In this class, led by Spokane artist Megan Perkins, students will tackle painting the sky - with clouds, mist, full of color, or as a more neutral backdrop with a focus on being expressive and allowing the medium of watercolor to do its magic.
There will be a break for lunch. Bring your own and grab lunch at one of the neighborhood spots!
