Description

This course is designed specifically for the absolute beginner. Have you always wanted to create but felt intimidated by the blank canvas? Whether you haven't picked up a pencil since grade school or you’re looking for a structured way to start a cool new hobby, this class is designed for you.

This course bridges the gap between fundamental skill-building and creative expression. I believe that art is a learned skill, not a "gift" you’re born with. In a relaxed, judgment-free studio environment, you will learn the essential "rules" of art—and then find the confidence to explore them.

What You’ll Learn:

● The Power of Observation: Simple techniques to see like an artist and translate the 3D world onto paper and canvas.

● Drawing Basics: Sketching with line, shading, and proportion using graphite and charcoal.

● Color Confidence: A beginner-friendly dive into color theory—how to mix exactly what you see without creating "mud."

● Brushwork & Texture: How to handle acrylics to create depth and movement in your paintings.

The Experience:

This is a fun, relaxed, hands-on workshop. Each session includes a brief demonstration followed by plenty of time for one-on-one coaching at your easel. You’ll walk away not just with finished pieces of art, but with the foundational tools to continue your creative journey. Ages 15 through adults.
