Plant And Still Life Painting Class
Plant & Flower Still Life Painting Paint what’s growing around you — and make it your own. In this class, teen artists will learn to paint plants and flowers using both pouring and brushwork techniques, guided by Ken Feldman, a working artist and studio owner based in Taos, New Mexico. This isn’t about painting a “perfect” flower — it’s about exploring color, experimenting with paint, and developing your own style. Students will work through composition, color mixing, and how to capture light and texture in a still life setup.
