With so many color options out there, how do you actually make sense of which ones to use and how they work? How do you get that relaxed, confident flow when painting with watercolor? And what brushes give you the best bang for your buck?

Most of what you’ll learn about color and value in this course applies to any painting medium—and honestly, figuring it all out on your own could take a lifetime. That’s why this course is designed to walk you through everything step-by-step. We’ll cover why values are so important, how to tell different colors and paint types apart, and how light affects your painting—all while encouraging your own unique style to shine through.

If you already know a bit but feel like there are a few holes in your knowledge, this course will help connect the dots. It’s built for students who want a strong, solid foundation to really get going with watercolor. Materials are not included; here is a suggested supply list.

In this inventive, ongoing drawing class, students will learn new ways to express their experience of the visual world through drawing.

Using dynamic set-ups, still life, and natural objects, each class is devoted to drawing from observation with ease. Specific elements of realistic drawing – such as positive/negative space, perspective, proportion, value, composition, etc. — will be demonstrated and practiced. For inspiration, we will study the drawings of Rembrandt, Durer, Van Gogh, Cezanne and several contemporary artists, in order to see through their eyes more deeply. The goal of this class is for students to develop a joyful drawing practice with freedom and confidence, while silencing the narrative of the inner critic. Questions are encouraged, and gentle homework assignments will be suggested. 

This class is appropriate for anyone who loves to draw! Students of all skill levels are welcome, and all materials are included. Feel free to bring any favorite drawing supplies or sketchbooks.

If you haven’t picked up a paintbrush since college, high school or kindergarten — or if you have never even picked up a paintbrush — this class is for you. Painting is a joyful, teachable skill that will open up a universe of color, expression, personal mark-making and visual perception. We will break down the basics of painting, everything from how to set up a palette, handle brushes, start a painting, mix color, apply paint to canvas —even the best practices for easy clean up. Our class will paint directly from life, using natural objects to explore color and composition. Every class will include a variety of time-tested painting exercises designed to increase your proficiency. You’ll be amazed at how quickly your skills will advance. It is time to start painting again, and re-enter the visual world with confidence.

All materials are included. The quality of water-based acrylic paint has improved greatly over the years, and we will be working with acrylic and a slow drying medium that increases paint flow. If you prefer to use oil paint, please email the instructor.

There is no class on January 31st.

In the Watercolor Techniques sessions, students get hands-on with a variety of brushwork and watercolor methods. They explore everything from wet-on-wet and dry brush to lifting, glazing, masking, and more—starting with loose washes and moving into more detailed studies. These sessions are all about building technical skills and deepening your understanding of color and value. As students grow more confident, they start applying what they've learned to painting landscapes and seascapes, picking up new techniques along the way. We check in on progress through evaluations that focus on technical skills, refinement, and the development of each student’s personal style. While this session is best for those already comfortable with colors and values, both are considered essential building blocks. Materials are not included; here is a suggested supply list.
