Intuitive Drawing with Lettie Jane

This is a 6 week long course that attracts a wide array of folks from those looking for a creative community to those seeking to improve their drawing skills. We work through exercises that break down barriers around what you expect to make and encourage you to invest in the process. This is a great class for those who feel like artists but think they can’t draw.
Intro to Painting with Jolyn

New painters will learn to build an acrylic (or oil) underpainting from scratch, and mix colors while developing your ability to evaluate value and composition. For returning students with experience in acrylic or oil, this workshop will provide an opportunity to work on independent projects. The setting is relaxed and informative.
Landscape Painting with Cole

This painting class is geared to students who want to learn how to paint landscapes in acrylic. We will focus on step by step processes for how to develop exciting and provoking pictorial images/paintings. The class will focus on composition, thumbnail/value studies, careful study and analysis, painting palette, and of course painting!
