Plenty of time will be offered to practice what you learn, and each student will leave with his or her own painting, along with the knowledge and skills needed to continue painting at home.Kathleen is a local artist, who lives in Casco. She has been painting for over 20 years and is mostly self taught. Kathleen believes that everyone is an artist and her love of teaching reflects that. Her work is unique and whimsical and she loves to paint everyday objects that have lots of color. Currently, she teaches watercolor classes at Scarborough Adult Education but she hopes to expand and share her work in the Naples, Raymond and Bridgton area.
