Deborah's classes are fun, comfortable and easy to follow. In this class, you will learn to paint a beautiful still life painting. Students will learn art principles in the process of painting their individual paintings. These principles will include such things as drawing techniques, perspective, hue, value, contrast and color combining.  Most of Deborah's new students feel that they are not artistic and don't have enough talent.  After attending the first  few classes, they are amazed at the results of their efforts.

Deborah Bird, instructor for the class, has broken down the process of creating art into unique patterns of learning that are understandable and doable. She is a certified Grumbacher instructor and has taught painting classes at Michaels.  “I learned more in one class of Deborah’s than I learned in a whole series of classes at an art center,” says Susan Johnson a recent student.
