The Waynesville Parks and Recreation Department will offer art classes at the Old Armory Recreation Center beginning in January.

There will be three different classes — drawing, watercolor and painting.

The drawing class will meet the first and third Tuesday of January and February from 10 a.m. to noon. The basics of drawing — such as line, perspective and shading — will make up the bulk of the class. Each class is $15.

Subjects covered in the watercolor class will include landscapes, still life and streetscapes. Meeting times are 1 to 3 p.m. the first and third Tuesday of January and February. The cost is $20 per class.

The painting class covers the basics of acrylics and oil paint, including the use of paints and color mixing, brushes and cleaning of the brush. Various subjects will be painted. The class will meet the first and third Tuesday of January and February from 6 to 8 p.m.

All classes will meet at the Old Armory Recreation Center, and students in each class are responsible for providing their own supplies.
