Studio Arts   

Spring plants bring colorful inspiration for “Nature Journaling in Line and Wash.” As buds burst into petals and leaves unfurl, so, too, do the pollinators arrive in style. Bugs and bees team up with butterflies to feast and carry pollen from flower to flower. This fun and relaxing class will record what you may have observed on your own spring walks, focusing on the amazing connection between insects and plants. Using a fine liner pen, we will learn mark-making techniques enhanced with beautiful transparent watercolor. We will learn simple ways to draw pollinators and pests. Prepared templates will be offered to create pleasing compositions across the two pages of your journal. All skill levels are welcome.

This open studio session is for artists of all levels who wish to practice figure drawing with a live, fully clothed model. The instructor will guide the session by setting poses and offering feedback, but students are encouraged to work independently at their own pace. Participants can engage in discussion and critique for a broader perspective on different approaches to figure drawing. Artists of all backgrounds and approaches, from traditional to contemporary, are invited to join.

Celebrate the beauty of spring with a creative exploration of mixed media. In this class, you'll draw a simple still life featuring June botanicals, then bring it to life by layering it with patterns, painting techniques, and collage. Artists of all levels are welcome.

In this class, you’ll learn the basics of how to draw a portrait in pencil. The instructor will provide a photograph for students to work from and reference materials, and he will go step-by-step, breaking things down into simple, learnable skills. You’ll learn how to draw each feature and how to get proportion and likeness right.

In this workshop, you will create a dynamic scene step by step—starting with a loose sketch from reference photos, followed by pen and ink for structure. Then, you'll bring your scene to life with watercolor, refine it by adding tonal values, and finish with expressive ink details and textures.
