Our first class on September 17 will be three hours long. All future classes will be two hours long. 

This class will focus on the fundamental features of the face. We'll draw and paint from a live model, learning to capture a likeness or an abstraction — your choice. Together we'll study the proportions and personality of the model, with instruction on the shapes and features of the eyes, nose, mouth, and hair. Bring your own materials to work with: watercolor, pastels, acrylic, or charcoal.

Beginner Printmaking: Your gateway to a new (ancient) art form

This class will give students the fundamentals of printmaking, with the goal of making the artform accessible to all, even those who do not think of themselves as “artists.” We would work on monotype (both trace and traditional) and linocut. Half of the sessions would be devoted to monotype and half to linocut, giving students an introduction to printmaking techniques, the time to build their skills and confidence, and the opportunity to get creative and play with these processes. This class would be heavily guided, while encouraging individuality of each student.
