Adult Classes
Everyone can learn and make art! Many of the students that we have taught at senior centers have never taken art classes before. It is wonderful to see the speed at which progress is made, and the joy and pride that come with it.
Our approach is to draw upon the rich history of art for inspiration in our projects. We begin each class by looking at the work of past and present artists and use their art as a jumping off point for each project.

This is a class for both beginners and more experienced students in which we work from a live model. Using watercolor, charcoal, pencil and sumi ink we will learn about proportion, line and form as we closely observe the human figure. In the process we will learn about color mixing and the magical quality of watercolor.
We provide all the materials except for the watercolor paint. Here is a suggestion for a set to purchase: Winsor & Newton watercolor set ($70)
