“I want to thank Annette for being an amazing teacher who is willing to share her love and passion for creating beautiful art pieces. She is so knowledgeable about the creative process. She does a great job at explaining the different elements that go into producing a painting or drawing. Each session she promotes creativity and allows the class to explore the different aspects of the medium being used. Annette is able to gently provide constructive feedback which allows me to learn and elevate my confidence as an artist. I look forward to attend each class and always learn something new on my art journey.” -Carol Tullman – Adult Student

Classes
Paint Along – Chester County Arts Association – Every Thursday from September to June – West Chester, PA. Not running at this time.
Instructed by Annette Alessi, this class demonstrates a particular approach to building a painting. The idea reflects that of the old masters who would take their students to the museum for a “paint along” to learn from the masters. Working from photos supplied by the instructor, students follow along with the process step-by-step over a period of 5 or 6 weeks to create an oil painting. The intent of the class is not to copy but to steer students through a process, to encourage them to incorporate featured techniques into their own technique repertoire. Since the intent is about the process, the student may or may not complete a painting depending on the level of the student. $3 materials fee is included in the total cost. See materials list on the CCAA website when you go to register.
Time: 11:00 am – 2:00 pm on Thursdays
Cost: $205.00 for a 5 week session
Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Medium: Oils

“I have been a student of Annette’s Paint Along Class for several years and have found them to be extremely instructive. Annette’s choice of painting subjects varies between landscapes, florals, trees, old buildings and seasons, among others, showcasing her unique style and colors. I love her tips on how to accomplish a painting from the very beginning to it’s completion in a way that is easily understood. Annette has patience and great sense of humor making her classes fun!” -Lynne Little
