Instructor: Philip Salamone (@philipsalamone)

  • 3 Wednesdays

  • 6:00am - 8:30pm

  • September 30 - October 14

Cost: $185 (includes supplies, model fees, and a pass to an open studio session)

Discover the beauty of portrait drawing using toned paper, charcoal, and white chalk in this three-week workshop. Working on toned paper allows you to build both shadows and also include highlights, creating more convincing portraits with greater depth and realism.

Each weekly session will focus on essential portrait skills, including facial proportions, value, form, and capturing light. Students will learn how to use the mid-tone of the paper as a foundation while adding rich darks with charcoal and luminous highlights with white chalk.

This class is suitable for beginners with some drawing experience as well as intermediate artists looking to strengthen their portrait skills. Through demonstrations, guided exercises, and individual feedback, you'll complete a series of studies while building confidence in your ability to draw expressive, lifelike portraits.

Class size is limited to 12 students.

Instructor: Lydia Zoells (@lydia.zoells.art)

  • Saturday, October 17th

  • 10am - 4pm (lunch 12-1)

$95 - Supplies not included

$105 - Starter supplies included

This workshop will explore safe practices and helpful strategies for at-home oil painters without access to a separate studio or adequate ventilation for solvent use. This is NOT a class on water-soluble oils: this is a course exploring how to use regular oil paints without the solvents that many contemporary painters rely on, and how to make the most of an oil painting practice in a home setting. In the first half of the class, we will discuss the major questions and challenges of solvent-free painting: under-painting, managing drying times, cleaning brushes, and choosing mediums. We will also discuss other safety concerns beyond solvents, and strategies for setting up a comfortable and successful home painting practice in your living room. In the second half of the class (after a 90 minute lunch break), we will have a model, and students will make an alla prima painting using some of the strategies discussed in the morning and will have the opportunity to ask questions and receive feedback as they try these methods. This is a good class for students wanting to get started with oil painting, but equally useful for those with an established practice who want to remove solvents or learn more about solvent-free methods. 

Class size is limited to 12 students.

Did you know you can use soft pastels (aka chalk pastels) with watercolors, acrylic paints, colored pencils, and even collage? In this experimental workshop, we’ll explore ways you can take your work further by adding soft pastels to your favorite medium—or shaking up your pastel art by adding something new! With plenty of hands-on time to play, experiment, ask questions, and get feedback, we’ll cover: 

  • Getting your pastel drawing wet (!) for interesting effects

  • Using watercolors or acrylics as an underpainting for pastels (or OVER pastels for mixing and blending) 

  • Using acrylic grounds to help you layer pastels over collage elements

  • Using soft pastels with other dry media, such as charcoal, graphite, and colored pencils

Instructor: Lydia Zoells (@lydia.zoells.art)

  • 3 Thursdays

  • 6:00pm - 8:30pm

  • September 3rd, 10th, 17th

Cost: $180 (includes model fees & pass to an open studio session)

Study the human body and hone your observational skills in this long-pose figure drawing course. Working from life using graphite, we will practice figure drawing skills like measuring and abstracting forms, triangulation, and combining knowledge of anatomy and proportion with direct observation. We will develop our drawings step by step, from simple, straight lines and angles to accurate three-dimensional, organic figures, based on a discussion of the dynamics of light on form. Artists of any level, including beginners, are welcome! 

Class size is limited to 12 students.

Extended Long Pose Open Studio (Sun Full Day)

On the first Sunday of every month, there will be an extended figure model session from 9:00am - 4:00pm with an hour long lunch break at noon.

You can join for part of all of the full day pose. Come for the morning, come in the afternoon after the lunch break, or stay all day! The full day sessions will be $55, or the usual $30 drop in fee if you only join for the morning or the afternoon. If you are a monthly member, there is no extra charge. If you use a punch card, extended sessions are only one punch.

Like the rest of our sessions, there's no pre-registration! Come on by with your paint or drawing supplies, and take advantage of these new, monthly, long-pose sessions.
