Intro to Gouache

Taught by ELIZABETH ZIMMERMAN

Tuesdays, April 16, 23, 30, 10:AM - 1:00PM

Three Session Class $60, Kits $40

Have you ever been curious about gouache (say “squash” but with a “g”) paint? Come to this 3 class workshop to learn about the different consistencies you can paint with gouache from watered down like watercolors to straight out of the tube like acrylics! Learn the difference between designer gouache and acrylic gouache, plus their pros and cons! Students will be working with designer gouache with hands-on lessons about adding water to change the consistency of the paint to achieve different effects. This opaque “cousin” to watercolor can be a fun addition to your art tool belt. Students will also learn how Elizabeth integrates gouache into a watercolor painting!

Drawing (Beginner and Intermediate)

Drawing Series

Instructor: Laura Singer

Experience Level: Beginner and intermediate (advanced students welcome)

Saturdays 1:00 to 3:30 p.m.

January 13, 20, 27, and February 17, 2024

These fun workshops are the perfect fit for anyone who is new to drawing, artists who struggle to freehand their designs, or intermediate artists who want to improve their technique. Laura will walk through examples, give demonstrations, and show you how to start and complete a drawing project of your own. Learn core observational drawing techniques to produce accurate representations of your chosen subject. Students will have the option of choosing a beginning (easier) subject or a more advanced subject to practice techniques at their level.

The class will cover techniques in line and proportion; light, form, and shading; composition and perspective; and more. You’ll learn how to use your drawing materials, how to choose and light your subject, and most importantly, how to observe and see like an artist. Each workshop provides lots of time to work on a project with one-on-one feedback from the instructor.

Bring your own materials (see materials list), or purchase a kit that has everything you need for all four sessions.

$60 for all four sessions

$25 kit fee (optional) paid directly to instructor

  • 1 General’s Tri-Tip eraser (or similar vinyl eraser)

Color Theory: Science and Art

Experience levels: All | Instructor: Laura Singer | Cost: $50

Saturdays, February 11 & 18, 2023, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Learn all about color theory in this two-day workshop designed for artists and designers of all mediums. Students will explore a little of the history and the science behind color as well as the artistic principles of creating and using effective color palettes. We’ll dive into what makes color, well, colorful.

This workshop will cover how to create inspiring color palettes that tell a story, how to mix pigments to create a rainbow of colors, and why certain colors work well as primary colors in a palette. By means of demonstrations and hands-on exercises, students will examine the color wheel of both additive and subtractive color systems, and students will work on a colorful art piece.

We’ll break for a half hour around noon, so bring your lunch.
