Directions
Summer is coming.

 Adult classes start at age 17.

Adults

Our 8 week Autumn Semester for Adults starts on Monday, October 5.

There's a class here for you, no matter what your experience. Some of our students can't remember the last time they explored their "artistic side". Others are quite far along in their artistic ventures.

We go out of our way to make you feel comfortable in developing that part of you that wants to be creative.

Adult classes are for students aged 17+.




Chinese Brush Painting/Japanese Sumi-e: Blue-and-Green landscape painting.

for Adults
Monday Mornings, October 19 - November 23, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Starts Monday, October 19

The blue-and-green mode of landscape painting was well established by the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE), and continues to inspire brush artists today. We begin with the brush painting basics, and then encourage an emphasis on color and personal expression. No prior Sumi-e experience necessary (Materials are not included. Chinese ink, brushes, watercolors and paper will be available for sale at cost if students do not already have those materials. Paper will be provided.) No prior Sumi-e experience necessary.

Watercolor (Beginning, Intermediate)

for Adults
Wednesday Mornings, October 7 - December 2, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
or Wednesday Evenings, October 7 - December 2, 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Starts October 7.

NOTE: Portrait Drawing students should register for the Wednesday EVENING classes from 6:30 to 9:30 pm.

Beginning with brush strokes, application and control of washes, setting up a palette of light-fast pigments, wet-in-wet techniques, the selection of fine art watercolor papers and more, whether you are just beginning or are taking what you have learned to the next level, this class gives you the foundation and confidence many find lacking in watercolor classes.

If you have taken this class previously, you will find lots more to do to advance your watercolor experience. You can do it!

Some basic drawing experience is strongly recommended.
