In this class students will learn how to paint on muslin using paints and dyes. Susan has many
years of background painting experience. Photographers everywhere covet her scenics and
florals. Susan will demonstrate how to paint everything from non-descript to scenics.
This year Susan added a twist to the class. Along with learning how to paint scenic backgrounds,
Susan invites each student to bring along a prop such as a chair, a bench, blocks, tricycles, etc.
that you could paint to compliment your backgrounds. Not only will you be able to take
home your favorite background, you could end up with a complete photographic set.
Susan’s class is very popular and fills quickly each year. This year her class will be offered in
both segments, however only after the first segment is filled, will the second segment be
opened for enrollment. Class size has been reduced for both segments to allow Susan more
time to work with each student. Segment II will be a repeat of Segment I.

Each student will have the opportunity to paint several backgrounds, depending on the detail
and size of the background. Almost all of the materials will be provided by KPPS. Upon
registration, students will receive a list of tools they will need to bring for this class. Students
will be able to take home their favorite background. Others may be purchased for a
nominal fee. Be sure to bring your paint clothes.
