I am going to be showing you how to manipulate pouring medium with all kinds of tools that most of you have available already. Learn how much water you can add without cracking and crazing. Learn about additives, special effects, various ways to move the paint around and what kind of effects are possible. Acrylic Pouring will be Thursday, February 8th – March 15th from 10 am – 12 noon.

Learn how to create your own papers, mixing colors, texture effects and more. Collage will show you how to choose papers, sealing non-archival papers to last, using type and pattern for deliberate effect. Collage is a great way to tell a story and is a wonderful way for people who are not confident in drawing to be able to express themselves by developing their own unique visual language. Collage 1 begins Wednesday, February 7 – March 14 from 1:00 – 3:00 pm. Cost is $150 a materials list will be provided.  Click here to register and prepay

Learn to express yourself with color! Beginner Abstract will help you learn how to start with an idea, sketch it out and then bring it to life on the canvas. Abstract art is not just throwing paint at the canvas. Learn how the principles of composition, color, and design come together to communicate thoughts and emotions you might find difficult to express with just words.This class gives you a good foundation to begin your painting journey. Beginner Abstract begins on Wednesday mornings February 7th – March 14th from 10 am – 12 noon.Cost is $150 a materials list will be provided.

Paint Night!!!

Crimson Climber

 

 

Beginning on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 – 9:00 pm I will be offering Paint Night once a month. Come and learn techniques that will allow you to make a unique painting with guidance that makes painting accessible to everyone. Leave with a painting that is your personal taste and colors. I have found that by laying out certain parameters it allows even a brand new painter the ability to leave with a painting that is unique and special to each individual. And have fun doing it! Paint Night begins Wednesday evenings February 7th and will occur the first Wednesday of every month. Cost is $35 per person and will be limited to 6 people. Reservations are encouraged. If you have a large group you can schedule a special event night for a small additional fee. Materials are included. This a great fun for birthdays, showers, Bachelorette parties and other events. Click here to register and prepay
