Painting Classes for Beginners
There are many approaches to painting. Sometimes the amount of information presented can be overwhelming. We enjoy leading students through a set of what has been interpreted as the fundamental “elements of art”. These elements are a great support system, which invite you to further explore ways of unique visual interpretation. These elements present the groundwork necessary to lay a foundation for beginners. Each class with bring you through a series of exercises and examples for you to explore each element of art. Students may work in the painting medium of choice (pastel, acrylic and / or oil paint), please contact me for a list of supplies.
Painting Classes - All Levels
It is important for an artist to be nurtured and guided through their own personalized process. There is a gamut of different approaches in order to solve a painting. Various painting approaches and techniques will be covered in this all levels class. Students are welcome to work from a number of inspirations, including still life and/or printed images. The use of watercolors, chalk pastel, oil pastels, inks, gouache, acrylics and oil paints is welcome. Please contact me for a list of supplies.

Go with the Flow! Pour Painting
Fluid painting has gained much popularity in recent years. I love this paint application for its slow unfolding of visual delights! These fluid or “pour” paintings are an interesting alternative to traditional brush work and paint application. A beautiful and mesmerizing approach to covering your canvas. Let your paintings unravel themselves through a series of applications. This workshop is a wonderful experience to appreciate the relationships between colors, and the role of gravity, viscosity, and happenstance that takes place while making art.
Sculpture
Sculpture is a great hands-on tactile experience for any age. Our traveling sculptor Keith Yerger works in a variety of materials such as clay, wax, stone, recycled or “found” objects.
