Absolutely!  

You can paint!!! 

Anyone with a positive attitude and a genuine desire to paint can be successful.  Many of Kathleen's  first-time students have been so pleased that they framed their work!  Also, they have taken additional classes to create special gifts for loved ones.

Some people tend to disqualify themselves because they feel that they don't have talent.  We are not born reciting the alphabet, reading, performing math calculations, writing, speaking, etc.

Kathleen believes that desire to pursue an interest creates the talent!  Positive attitude is everything!

Generally $100-125.  With proper care, the initial supplies such as brushes and easel can last for years.  The key is proper care.  

Quality products are best.  Area stores run weekly coupons offering 25%-50% off one item.  Contact Kathleen to obtain a supply list. 

Friends and relatives who take classes together often share paints to help defray the cost.  One person might be responsible for three colors, another for oil or medium, etc.

Thinners are not used in the classroom. 

Bring lots of paper towels to the classroom for wiping the brushes.  Baby oil can be used for cleaning brushes as long as the oil is wiped off.

Some students prefer a final cleaning with thinner.  In this case, students take their brushes home tightly wrapped in plastic and use thinner outside.

Classes are currently offered at the Monona Hobby Lobby in South Towne Mall just off the Madison Beltline Highway and at the Janesville Hobby Lobby on Milton Avenue (the former Wal-Mart store). 

Additional locations will certainly be considered.
