This is a foundational drawing class where students will learn classical drawing techniques. Suitable for both beginner and intermediate students, topics include simplifying a subject, establishing accurate proportions through measuring, and understanding value relationships. Projects include Bargue plates and cast drawings.

In this class, students ages 11-18 will learn the process of designing a character and painting them in a watercolor scene. Drawing methods, how to compose a scene, and how to work with watercolor will be taught. Creativity in their designs will be encouraged while also maintaining a sense of realism. 

This is a 2-day workshop for students with prior drawing experience to work from a nude figure model. Students will learn about gesture, simplifying the subject, achieving accurate proportions using comparative measuring, and creating form through light and shadow. 

Artists of all levels can come to open studio to work from a nude figure model in their choice of media. Typical media include charcoal, pencil, pastel, or oil paint. The model will take the same pose for the duration of the time, with short breaks every twenty minutes. No instruction is given.
