SUMMARY:Oil Painting: Portraits of People & Pets with Sissi Sneve-Schultze
DESCRIPTION:Oil Painting: Portraits of people and pets with Sissi Sneve-Schultze \nDates: Wednesdays\, February 18 – March 25\, 2026 (6 weeks)\nTime: 9:30 am – 12:00 pm\nCost: $175 Members/$205 Non-members \nThis is a supportive\, low-pressure environment perfect for artists who are new to portrait and pet painting or who want to build confidence before painting from life. (Bring in the images you want to works with that would good to paint).\n\nThis beginner-friendly class introduces students to the fundamentals of painting portrait or pets  in oil — with an emphasis on placing the subject. Working from carefully selected photo references\, students will explore how to build a strong composition\, capture accurate proportions\, and bring life using the expressive\, direct alla prima (wet-into-wet) painting technique.\n\nThrough step-by-step demonstrations and plenty of individualized guidance\, students will learn how to simplify complex forms\, understand light and shadow\, mix realistic skin tones\, and use color and brushwork to convey atmosphere. The face or pet won’t stand alone — students will also consider background\, setting\, and how to interact with its environment to create a compelling narrative.\nNo previous portrait or pet drawing experience required\, but basic oil painting familiarity is recommended.\nwww.sneve-schultze.com

SUMMARY:Naturescape Gallery presents "Flora"  exhibit featuring Artist Katherine Nora
DESCRIPTION:Naturescape Gallery at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents\nFlora by artist Katherine Nora\, February 14 – April 30\, 2026\, during Museum open hours. \nArtist’s statement: \nFor the last twenty years most of my painting has been a response to what is growing in the land around me. Whether from direct contact with my garden or the woods surrounding it\, a glimpse of roadside scene or even the memory of a dream\, the urge is the same: to capture that plant-action. I see personalities\, communication\, or simply grace\, dignity and wisdom. To satisfy my curiosity and capture these qualities\, I wait for the painting to tell me what it wants and allow my participation in the gestures of the natural world. \nKatherine Nora has lived on Cape Cod for most of her life and shown her work here for decades. She is known for depicting the natural world with bold colors and strong brush strokes. And if you are in Orleans having a coffee at the Hot Chocolate Sparrow\, look towards the CVS building and you will see the incredible “Depot Mural” that depicts the “Yesterday-Year Railroad Station” by artists Katherine Nora and Dan Joy. The mural is a tribute to the 100th anniversary of the train arriving in Orleans. \nA multi-talented artist\, Katherine is also the author of three novels\, two of which are historical fiction set in Orleans: Theo and Ria and Sipson’s Island; and Pepromeno\, a Greek word meaning destiny or fate\, chronicles a son’s discovery of his missing father. \nYou can view more of Katherine’s work on her Instagram page: k.nora_art\, or at\nAdorn 211 Main St\, Orleans\, MA 02653\, adorncapecod.com. \n*Included with Museum Admission \nFor more information\, please call the Museum at 508-896-3867 ext. 133.
