Do you struggle with capturing the depth, color, and form of the landscape? Have trouble mixing the perfect greens or creating realistic trees and clouds? Join me for an in-depth, step-by-step exploration of landscape painting in oils.

In this six-week course, you'll gain a solid foundation in form, color, composition, and depth—all while completing your own stunning landscape painting. Each week, we’ll break down key aspects of landscape painting to help you build confidence and skill.

In the hands of a skilled artist, a colored pencil drawing can resemble a masterfully crafted painting. Join artist Michele Frantz and learn common techniques used to produce lush images with colored pencils. We will focus on base layer value and tone, and application of hue and texture with cross hatching techniques.  Explore the effect of burnishing as the waxy binder creates opaque density and saturation in the top color layers. Take your drawings to new depths of visual interest with a better understanding of the colored pencils medium! Supplies provided via optional fee if needed.

Instructor and artist, Lydia Bratton, will guide this class through the start to finish of creating art through sculpture. Sculpture requires patience, perseverance, and sometimes a mindset shift to achieve desired results.

Lydia will stress the importance of trusting the process, making sculptors of all levels feel capable and confident in creating a piece they can be proud of. Students will plan and complete sculptures they can take home and enjoy.

Sculptures will be left to dry for a week, and students will return to paint their finished, dried product before taking their masterpiece home.
