BAA Studio Art Classes
BAA Studio is offering a lot of exciting art instruction classes. We are partners with our wonderful new art supply store, Coastal Art Supply, located at 812 Port Republic Street across from the Beaufort Inn. If you have not been in, please check it out and give them your support. Jennifer & Pat have a wonderful variety of supplies for all artists’ needs and great studio space for our classes in the back.
We have recently held a class taught by Christopher Marshall in "Classical Still Lifes in Oil". Artists taking the class are having such success that we are continuing the class for 4 more Mondays in July. You can join the July classes without having taken the June series. The class is designed for artists who have some knowledge of oil painting.
Chris is an award winning artist whose work you may have enjoyed in our Spring Shows where he repeatedly wins awards for his work. His style is patterned after Rembrandt and the great masters and stresses the use of deep variations of light and shade to enhance dramatic effects in the design and presentation of the painting. You can see samples of his work on BAA’s website (http://www.beaufortartassociation.com/artist_bios/christopher_marshall/bio.shtml).
Email BAA Studio at or drop in at Coastal Art Supply for class registration forms and supply lists. See (http://www.beaufortartassociation.com/baa_studio/intro.shtml) for a complete list of upcoming classes.
Call Ellen Long (843) 828-3205 or Pam Hagan for additional information. All BAA Members are encouraged to teach a class in their specialty. Instructors receive 60% of the class registration fees. BAA pays for the classroom space and promotes the classes through publicity. This is a win/win situation for our artists and our organization.
