INTRODUCTION TO GOUACHE COURSE
Gouache is an opaque watercolor with a creamy consistency that lends itself to a variety of techniques. While it might be an unfamiliar medium to many people, it has been around a long time. How long? It was used to illuminate manuscripts back in the 12th century and found popularity with artists in the 19th and 20th centuries. It has found a renaissance in the last few decades and new fans, yours truly included.
The 6-week Intro to Gouache Fall course will meet on Monday afternoons 1:30-4 p.m. starting Oct. 6.

INTRODUCTION TO PAN PASTELS WORKSHOP AND COURSE
When you think of pastels, you might have in mind oily sticks that sort of look like big crayons (know as oil pastels) or , more likely, those square shaped sticks of compressed color that leaves you covered in colorful powder (these are just called pastels or occasionally "chalk" pastels). Both are perfectly fine and, as with all mediums, they have their place and fans galore. But what you'll work with in my Pastel class are something a bit different, known as PanPastels. We use foam covered tools to apply the different colors of pastel dusk from round containers reminiscent of face powder/makeup along with pastel pencils. You'll learn how to blend, layer, create details and so much more.
Check out our 3-week workshop, meeting on Tuesdays 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m. starting Oct. 14 and ending Oct. 28.

BASIC DRAWING COURSE
Want to start at "the beginning"? Get your journey kicked off with my 3-week Basic Drawing course. We will focus on training you to "see better so you can draw better."

Offer as a 3-week course meeting.
