Wednesdays from 3-5pm in January 2022.

Foreland is pleased to announce its first educational offering, a class called “Painting People” taught by artist Caitlin MacBride, a studio tenant within the Foreland campus. This class is open to grade school students above the age of 12, college students and adults interested in art. There is no charge for the class and all supplies are included.

Participants are asked to attend 3 of the 4 classes, minimum. If you are interested but unsure if you will be able to attend, please refrain from registering, as space is limited to 15 students.

“Painting People” will cover the basics of proportion, color mixing, and painting methods using a fun, experimental approach. Participants will work with acrylic paint and will learn about a variety of techniques and approaches including realistic, surrealist and cubist styles. Students will learn to use both observation and imagination to create a portfolio of portraits. The class will culminate with an exhibition reception showcasing participants' work in the Foreland galleries.

Spots are limited so please email info@forelandcatskill.com to register yourself or your child before December 15, 2021.

Masks will be required for all participants.
