What our art students are saying...

Abstract painting

Abstract art is a style of painting which deals with colors,forms and textures. Students experiment with cool and warm hues and color mixing and layering, exploring textures and patterns by using different techniques and materials. Learn to interpret realistic scenes into forms, moods and colors. Abstract painting will help you gain more freedom and looseness with your brush strokes, and to become more effective and expressive.

ADULT art classes - no experience required!

Enjoy the best of both worlds--the individual help and focus of a private lesson, and the camaraderie and beneficial information given to other artists.  Students work at their own pace with the subject matter that interests them, and will learn techniques that will accelerate their abilities regardless of experience. In our classes students can work on either drawing, oil or acrylic painting. Students are allowed to switch back and forth between media. 

We also offer private art lessons, that can be customized according to your interests.
