Let's create a stunning tree painting using pointillism!

This painting technique originated during the Impressionist era and involves using dots of different colors to create an impression of flowers and grass. Start with a brush to outline the tree and background, then add colors and details using dots. This will give your painting a beautiful and unique texture.

This is an adult art class for those 18 and up.

About the Artist

Jack Phaneuf, former art teacher at Whitman-Hanson Regional High School and Bridgewater-Raynham Regional High School, has been making art for the past 65 years. After three semesters at Mass College of Art, Jack felt a call to religious life. He joined the Discalced Carmelite Order during which time earned a bachelors degree in Philosophy and Art from the University of Santa Clara in Santa Clara, California. Leaving the Order after six years, Jack had many odd jobs while taking education courses at local colleges with an eye to teaching art in high school. He got a job at Whitman-Hanson. After two years he took the job at Bridgewater-Raynham where he remained for 31 years. He retired from B-R in 2004 and has worked in his studio, North Star until the present.

About the Exhibit

This exhibit is a retrospect of the many kinds of art I’ve done during my life. From pleine air oil sketches to hard edge paintings, and the acrylic wash paintings I continue to create.
