Join Artist, Educator, Designer, and Author Karen Maness, for a 5-class series of Sunday foundational painting classes at her studio in south Austin.

This foundation series is intended for new students or past students wishing to get a refresh on the mechanics of painting.

It is a fun and engaging opportunity to enhance your art skills, meet a like-minded community, and build a strong foundation in painting.

We will build your art skills by painting with a variety of techniques. You’ll receive direct painting and color mixing instruction in a small class format, presentations with historical and contemporary art examples, and constructive guided critiques.

You will take away increased painting and color mixing confidence, a new community of artists focused on personal development, and a full color painting.

The training in Maness’ painting courses provide growth opportunities and a welcome space to both emerging and established artists, with techniques applicable across mediums.

Completion of this Foundations of Painting class series introduces you to the community and is a pre-requisite for joining the Salon painting classes.
