This class is specifically designed for adults who are absolute beginners, and wanting to start their creative journey. That being said, we have had many advanced or experienced artists love this class, because of my unique approach to teaching drawing and painting. Whatever your level, please join us!

The purpose of this class is to help students to understand the concepts of space, form, light and shadow in drawing and painting. 

First, you will learn about working with charcoal, and how it can create beautiful, soft values. I teach drawing in a unique way, connecting that experience directly to your acrylic painting techniques. Second, You will learn about acrylic paints, and how to mix your own tones to paint a still-life value study. 

This workshop allows me to teach to the artistic process, and not the product empowering students to create in many styles and directions as they move forward.

Drawing is the root of many art forms, and I love seeing the confidence of my students grow in that respect!

When artists set out to express themselves, they have an arsenal of skills that they have collected and trained with for years. The most powerful of these is the ability to DRAW.There are many definitions, but drawing to me means the mark making it that is a foundation of your image. The powers of gravity, space, form, light, shadow, even perspective are vital to artists.Join us as students will use pencil, charcoal and various blending tools to learn how to make quick studies as well as longer more involved drawing studies using layering.

SUMMER SESSION: WEEK 1

4 consecutive days: 6/2/25 - 6/5/25

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday; 1:00pm-3:00pm

This is an acrylic painting class that focuses on the summer landscape. Claude Monet actually coined the term Impressionism with his painting ‘Impression of a Sunset’, so with whom better to study landscape painting! Monet was a master of using color and brushwork to evoke beautiful, natural light in his paintings. Often, as artists, we draw images with a pencil, and fill them in with color, but please come to this class and learn to draw WITH paint. You will learn some incredibly mysterious color theories and how to use them in your paintings . Learning to SEE the world around us and to experience the possibilities of making pictures is the way to bring out our inner artist!
