Classes are ideal for the beginner who has always dreamed of learning to paint & draw to the more advanced student who just wants to improve their existing skills. Class emphasis is always on the individual student’s creative development and growth.
Nearly 15 aspiring student artists have been pursuing their passion in oil painting each Wednesday in a class given by Noel Belton. Noel has been teaching with the Lyme Art Association for 5 years.
