I love it when a dominantly left-brain thinker crosses that bridge to the right side of their brain! I often hear people sell themselves short by saying they are not creative. Here is a secret, creativity is just problem-solving. We, as humans, were born problem solvers. Which makes us all creative to some degree. Do you remember when you played with the box the toy came in more than the actual toy? Or, when you enjoyed the process of building the sandcastle much more than the actual completion of it?  In those moments, you were being creative! All you must do is dive back into making. In this 5-week class, participants will learn basic pen and ink techniques, diagram making, a little typography, and some principles of design. And a dash of graphics design logic. Some art and design history. You will learn how to have fun with note-taking, and better communicate with your friends and family. You will be able to remind your co-workers that, "Work. It's just serious play." - Saul Bass

Learn how to use watercolor in unexpected ways to create bold results. Initial steps in using the medium will focus on value, layering, creating forms and then color relationships. Create a foundation for working and then go beyond traditional watercolor by experimenting with different techniques. Discover how to take advantage of unexpected "mistakes" for your own benefit. Imagery for this course will be mostly representational while encouraging atmospheric effects and the looser side of the medium. Watercolor is vibrant and translucent in nature, has no odor and is affordable. This class is for All Levels. Previous painting experience is not required, however an understanding in value drawing is helpful.

Oil pastel is a relatively new medium dated from the early 20 century. It is a very versatile and dynamic material that combines drawings and painting properties. An easy to control, very flexible to mix with medium, makes oil pastels ideal for working on any surface. Over the course of 9 weeks, students will discover exciting techniques and they will learn to combine oil pastels with other mediums such as acrylic and watercolor. This class also covers a variety of exercises to guide students to create effective compositions following the elements and principles of art. Some assignments are inspired by impressionist and post-impressionist artists' approaches to painting. This class is a great fit for anyone looking to transition between drawing to painting or experienced artists looking to learn about the endless applications of oil pastels. All levels are welcome. Please note: some tools and materials will be provided by the instructor.

In this studio-based watercolor and mixed media workshop we will explore painting and drawing with tube watercolors and watercolor pencils. Various experimental effects will be employed to depict light and shadow and contrast using warm and cool colors with the addition of applications of translucent layers of collage, applied subtle textures and use of open unpainted spaces. Demos and exercises will incorporate further use of mixed media into watercolor painting, including resist mediums, different grounds, such as gesso and acrylic medium, and collage with acid free tissue paper and rice paper. The subject focus will be on natural elements such as water, rocks, and insects using photographic sources, for example, lily ponds and streams and small still life setups in the studio of water vessels and flowering plants to make mixed media studies. Contemporary and historical artists will also be referenced.

These exercises are structured to be very therapeutic for all levels and ages. Through yoga exercise you relieve tension, let go of stress and open the body to be better prepared for painting. Through meditation and body work, you have the opportunity to dive deeper into the creative spectrum and gain direct access into the right brain —the storage house of art!

This course will explore using geometric shapes as a method to create reduced landscapes with acrylic paint. Images will be laid out in plains of color that will desaturate or shift in value as they recede into space, invoking depth. Processes will include establishing foreground, middle-ground, and background spaces, hard edge painting, layering, and understanding color relationships. Students are encouraged to invent their own image or use a landscape picture to be translated into a simplified abstraction. Acrylic paints are fast drying, water-soluble and are easy to clean up. It’s also forgiving, if you make a mistake you can paint over it quickly. No prior experience is necessary.

This workshop will serve as a crash-course style introduction to painting with gouache! With the opacity of acrylics and the fluidity of watercolors, gouache is a unique and versatile medium with many possibilities for creative expression. During this one-day session we will dive into the specific properties of gouache as a medium, exploring a variety of textures and techniques before applying these techniques to a small painting project. Students will come away with a basic knowledge of gouache painting approaches and some ideas for how they can continue working with the medium in future! Open to all levels.
