This is an introduction to painting outside. The class takes place outdoors in a public park (Highline Botanical Garden), and there is ambient noise from the garden waterways, airplanes, and occasionally other people. This is part of the outdoors experience, and does not detract from the lesson. This course is a free introductory course.
