Oils and Acrylics Painting

You will learn all of the basics of painting, such as laying out your palette, mixing colors, under painting, using medium, brush handling, blending, properly layering paint and creating visual and physical textures.  This class is perfect for beginners and a great environment for seasoned painters wanting to advance to their next level.

Advanced 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. Our classes allow the students to work on either drawing, oils, or acrylics according to their interest.

The PLACE TO BE CREATIVE

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.

It seems it is filling a need, as evidenced by the number of students of all ages that take music lessons and art classes there. I absolutely love my art class.  We have an exceptional teacher who masterfully guides us as we discover what we are capable of. I look forward to each class and appreciate the camaraderie enjoyed in our room." -- Mia
