Thursdays 1:00-4:00
The painting style of any subject is what makes each artist and painting unique. Students will learn about a variety of painting styles while practicing techniques in acrylic painting. We will review color mixing, composition, under-painting, and paint application techniques. Students will work to develop a personal painting style to interpret an original acrylic art subject. The class will combine teacher demonstration with work time devoted to individual instruction. Picture reference, preferably your own photos. Or from FREE websites like Pixabay or Unsplash.

Create Pastels Like A Master, Helen Solomon

Fridays 1:00-4:00
The goal of this class is to introduce soft pastels and the many ways they can be used. Soft pastels are all about the layering of colors and building your image through those layers. Each student will develop their own style, no matter the subject, still life, landscape, seascape, figure, or portrait. How to prep work surfaces and how to transfer art to sanded paper. For the first half hour of each class, we will critique work created the week before. As a group, we will discuss each other’s artwork. This is a great time to talk about you, the artist, and briefly discuss your next step.

Thursdays 9:00-12-00
In this Acrylic Painting course, you will learn how to prep your canvas, and how to transfer your own reference from your own photos or the two free websites such as Pixabay or Unsplash. Once your drawing is on the canvas, the FUN begins with painting in acrylics. This course is in-depth and it’s also a FUN two hours of studio time with other acrylic lovers. This intermediate/advanced art class continues the exploration of acrylic media and techniques with a more in-depth study of acrylics, aesthetics, and medium. Students will have the ability to talk about their work and the work of others in classroom critiques that we do at the start of each class. Please note, this is not for beginners.

Tuesdays 9:00-12:00
“Starting with a blank white canvas can create anxiety for some people. You may feel like an “”art admirer”” instead of an “”art creator”” and worry that your paintings will turn out terrible. However, my course will teach you the basics of working with acrylic paint, which is the simplest and most effective way for absolute beginners to learn how to paint successfully. Acrylic paints can be used in thin layers like watercolor or in thicker, more opaque applications like oil paint. On the first day of the course, you’ll receive all the necessary references and step-by-step guidance to create your own art from start to finish.
