Drawing and Painting

Do you know the basics of watercolor painting, but feel that a finished landscape still feels challenging? Then this class is for you! It is designed for artists who already have some watercolor experience and a love for painting landscapes. Over 4 weeks (2.5 hours per session), we’ll explore the beauty of spring—soft light, fresh greens, and flowing water—through small-format watercolor paintings. Each class is demonstration-based. You’ll receive a reference photo, and the instructor will guide you step by step—from initial sketch and value study to a finished piece. You’ll first observe the process, then paint along with guidance. Questions are welcome at any time. By the end of the class, you’ll have a clear, repeatable process for creating watercolor landscapes and the confidence to bring your own spring scenes to life.

Are you curious about watercolor, but just want something relaxing and fun? Then this is the class for you! This beginner class is designed for anyone who wants to try watercolor with no pressure. No experience needed. No long lectures. Just enjoy painting. Each session, you’ll learn a small skill, then start painting right away. We’ll create simple subjects like leaves, fruits, and small everyday objects. You’ll learn by doing, step by step, in a relaxed and supportive environment. This class is perfect if you want to unwind, explore creativity, and have fun with color. Come paint, relax, and enjoy the process. 

Students will learn how to use cold wax and oil as a malleable medium to create texture in painting and multimedia applications. The class is a fun, freeing exploration of this rich medium, employing techniques and playful expression on oil paper. The instructor will cover the properties and demonstrate application of cold wax and oil and then students will paint, paint, paint!  The class is limited to 10 participants to allow for individual attention.  Be prepared to get messy and have fun!  Apron or old clothes are desirable.  All supplies are provided.  A supply fee of $20 is due to the instructor at the beginning of class. All skill levels are welcome.
