ADULT SUMMER CLASSES & WORKSHOPS
OAKHURST
1620 Oakhurst Commons Dr, Suite 302

​

​

Classes are a mix of Beginner and Intermediate Students: 

 

Beginners will start with Still Life Drawing to learn how to improve your hand/eye coordination. Over the first few weeks we will go over various drawing techniques to help improve on your drawing skills and advance into more difficult drawing set ups. Next we will work on tone studies to help bring these drawings to life, eventually working our way into oil painting. 

 

Intermediate Students will start where we last left off from the Beginner levels and continue to work on or toward creating your own oil masterpieces.

​

Advanced Students and Professionals are welcome in our classes and we will tailor our instruction to your personal artistic goals.
