Painting the Masters

Join us for our all levels, casual painting workshop, Painting the Masters. This series of one-day classes is designed for both complete beginners who are new to painting and for veteran artists wishing to explore the works of classic and contemporary artists. During each 3-hour class of the series, the instructor will discuss, analyze and provide step-by-step instructions for recreating a masterwork on your own canvas. All materials are provided for in the class fee of these sessions.

Beginning Students

Looking to start drawing or painting? We recommend beginning your foray into the visual arts with Drawing I, a foundational class for both drawing and painting students. Drawing is the backbone of a strong painting, and is also often the first step in the creative process for 3-d artists such as sculptures and other designers. The next scheduled Foundation Drawing I class will be held on Monday evenings, beginning September 16th from 6:00PM-8:30PM.
