Acrylic Painting Class with Artist Steve Rogers at the Rehoboth Art League

REHOBOTH BEACH, DE – Have you always wanted to learn how to paint? Come to the Rehoboth Art League and take “Working with Acrylics” with local artist Steve Rogers. Monday through Friday, June 3 to 7 from 9:00 a.m. to noon each day, Steve will teach participants the basics of acrylic painting and what distinguishes it from other media. You will learn how to work from photographs, prepare panels and canvases, and see demonstrations of techniques as you work on your own painting. The cost of the week-long class is $150 for members and $185 for non-members.

Local artist Steve Rogers has loved boats and water all his life. Not only does he paint boats, he builds them in ship model form. He is a nationally recognized ship model builder. Although model building and fine art would seem unrelated, each supports and enhances the other. Understanding construction methods, thinking in three dimensions, and working from blueprints and photographs allows Steve to visualize the boats and ships that become the subjects of his paintings. His paintings capture the toughness and durability of everyday working boats and the sheer beauty and stark terror of the weather and waters they work in. Steve is represented by the Peninsula Gallery in Lewes, Delaware. He also was recently inducted into the Delaware Maritime Hall of Fame for his work painting the ships of the Menhaden fleet.
