Announcing the
Traditions Education Program:
a developmental painting
curriculum for all skill levels
from beginner to advanced.
Whether you are a beginning student interested in
the art of decorative painting or a more experienced painter who has
begun to look for more, this is the series for you! Spend one day or
evening a week in the company of other artists exploring your creativity
and investing in your art education.
While you paint beautiful trays, trunks and other surfaces for your home
this system will take you from the basics to the advanced in painting
techniques, fill in the blanks and provide the advanced painter with
knowledge that was missed while "just painting projects".
The Traditions curriculum is a sequential series consisting of four modules
(A, B, C and D) with ten lessons in each module (for a total of 40 lessons)
that gradually increase in difficulty, each lesson building one on the other.
During each class you will enjoy the fellowship of other students, the joy
of creativity, the pride of accomplishment and the knowledge of the rich
history of decorative painting styles.
Module A: Beginning Level Classes
Module A lessons are especially appropriate for students who have never
painted, who have painted on a limited basis or have painted in oils and
need to be brought up to speed on current acrylic painting techniques.
These lessons are also a prerequisite for experienced painters who are
interested in the more advanced techniques in Modules B and C.
We are dividing Module A into four, six-week sessions with the first
session covering Lessons 1-4. Beginners who complete the first session
will then have the opportunity to complete the entire program.
Paint
It is a requirement of the Traditions Education Program that students
paint with the JansenArt Traditions line of paint by DecoArt. It is the
finest quality acrylic paint with light fast artist grade pigments that enable
a small drop to cover three times the surface of other paints. The paint is
the most advanced, state of the art acrylic which includes properties that
enable a decorative artist to use techniques never before possible using
acrylic paint. In addition to the entire line of Traditions paints and
mediums we offer an economical beginner’s 10-pack.
Surfaces
The first session of classes introduces the beginning painter to basic
methods of preparing wood surfaces. Subsequent lessons introduce
metal and canvas surfaces. Students are offered a certain amount of
flexibility in their choice of the actual shape and style of the surface.
However, it is a requirement that the surface be purchased at The Apple
Tree in conjunction with the Traditions Program.
Other Supplies
There is a supply list available from The Apple Tree which outlines
supplies needed for the first session. A Beginner’s Kit is available for
purchase which contains the basic supplies. Other supplies can be
purchased on an as needed basis during the session.

classes today and watch out! A new world awaits!
