This class helps young artists ages 12-17 improve their skills, try new techniques, and develop their creative voice. We’ll use both realistic and illustrative styles for a variety of class exercises, and students will get plenty of individual guidance on projects that they’re passionate about.

(All skill levels and interests are welcome! Whether you’re interested in photo-realistic drawings or making webcomics, I’m happy to fuel your creative journey.)

Do you want to get into art, but aren’t sure where to start? Don’t really want to get supplies without knowing if you’ll like a new medium? This is your chance to try before you buy! Each week we’ll make a project using different materials and different techniques, so that you can get a feel for what you enjoy most. Options include acrylics, abstract pouring, watercolors, dry pastels, charcoal drawing, polymer clay, resin casting, block printing, and needle felting. (Class interest will determine the specific mediums and projects that we do.) All supplies are included!

In this supportive drawing class, you'll learn to sketch what you see and what you imagine. We'll explore the basics of Values, Perspective, and Proportion, using pencil and charcoal—and you'll even learn the grid method to create drawings that look incredibly real (no tracing needed!).

This is a class for people who think they can't draw. You'll leave feeling like an artist. If you are more experienced, we will challenge and encourage you to explore new horizons in technique and approach.

This course gently guides students from sketchbook anxiety to artistic self-assurance. Through life drawing, figurative illustration, imaginative exploration, and structured photo reference work, students will learn to draw with joy, accuracy, and style. The grid method offers a framework for realism, while creative prompts invite personal expression.

Encouragement Supplied in Abundance!
