5 Day class (9am-4pm)

This class will be held on location on historic Spring Street in Eureka Springs. Students will be drawing and painting on sites located between the Andrew Carnegie Public Library and the U.S. Post Office, capturing the natural beauty of downtown Eureka. Students will spend time sketching and absorbing the selected buildings, and will also do watercolor paintings of them. The instructor will provide watercolor demonstrations, in addition to speaking on perspective, proportion, and composition, etc.

Award winning nationally known painter and portrait artist, Julie Kahn Valentine, has a true passion to share her art with participants. In 2006 she was a winner in the Two-Dimensional Art juried show at the Fall Art Fair in Eureka Springs sponsored by the Eureka Springs Artists' Registry. She has taught both privately and professionally and shares her gift with a natural ease.
