Can’t draw but want to? Can draw but want to get better? In this class you will use pencil, charcoal, and pastel to learn basic forms, one and two point perspective, negative space, tonal value and proportion. Use these fundamentals to draw anything. Drawing accurately is the basis for all other fine art mediums. You need to be able to accurately sketch out your canvas or paper before going on the next step.
Want room to sprawl out in a spacious art studio? Or maybe you want to draw and paint with other artists in a relaxed social studio. For $10 you can spend the day up in our large studio with other artists. Bring whatever supplies you want except for solvents and use the tables and/or easels, kitchen and bathrooms.

Explore the versatile world of gouache, a water-based, opaque, and pigment-rich medium. With its ability to layer light over dark, gouache combines the flexibility of acrylics and oils with the transparency of watercolors. This course can serve both as an introduction to essential techniques (including material exploration, color mixing, and effective paint handling), and for more experienced painters in gouache, it will allow exploration and refinement in a supportive environment. Each class includes demonstrations and ample painting time. Additionally, we’ll cover best practices for storing and framing gouache paintings. Join us for this five-week journey into the expressive realm of gouache.
Materials:
Sketching supplies such as pencil and sketch pad or journal
Water media brushes (a few flats and a round to start)
Water media paper
Water media palette such as Mastersons stay-wet Handi Palette or any watercolor palette
Gouache – I recommend M Graham or Holbein gouache or another tubed gouache. To start, you can use a limited palette and add colors as needed. Essentials are:
Azo Yellow
Napthol Red
Ultramarine Blue
Titanium White.
Note: I don’t use Acrylic Gouache because it is too similar to acrylic paints, and what I like about the traditional gouache is that you can reconstitute it. If you have acrylic gouache, you will have a little different experience than what I am teaching.
