If you’ve ever said, “I can’t draw a straight line,” this class is for you. In Foundational Drawing Skills, you’ll learn the core principles every artist needs to draw accurately and confidently. Starting with the basics, we’ll explore proportion, composition, and the key ways to use space to create visually pleasing designs. What you’ll gain:

• Ability to accurately measure and draw proportions

• Skills to design still lifes and compositions that “read” well

• Improved accuracy in observational drawing

• Greater confidence with graphite and other drawing tools

Through a combination of demos, hands-on exercises, and encouraging feedback, you’ll build a toolbox of skills you can apply to any drawing style or subject. No prior experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to learn

There will be no class on Thursday, November 27th due to Thanksgiving.

Are you overwhelmed by color choices and still not getting the results you want in your paintings? This is a playful, practical workshop designed for artists who want to take control of their palette, understand color mixtures, and use color confidently to create mood, light, and harmony in their work.

Developed for a national conference for artists, this workshop will help you finally make sense of limited palettes, color schemes, and the effects of light. You’ll work in fast-drying acrylics to explore mutes, tones, tints, shades, color relativity, and color psychology—so you can apply what you learn right away.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how color works and how to make it work for you.

All supplies provided via the supplies fee.
