Classes

2021 here we go! Spring classes begin 1/14 and run through 4/22. Included are 12 guided, self-paced lessons. I’ve selected 4 themes to work through: Things That GO!, Music & Art, Outer Space, and Marine and Sea Life. Most lessons will take 2-3 sessions to complete because either pieces need to dry or set or after about 45 minutes it’s probably time for your student to take a break and come back fresh for the next step in the process.

A note about supplies: please use what you have on hand. You don’t necessarily need pan watercolors and liquid watercolors or liquid tempera paint and puck cakes. If you have a budding artist and want them, I have provided a link but there is no need to have both kinds, you can certainly make due and work with what you have. I know supplies can be expensive!
