These fun workshops are the perfect fit for anyone who is new to drawing, artists who struggle to freehand their designs, or advanced 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

If you’re not sure where to purchase materials, but you would like to bring your own, I recommend the Art Department in Downtown Salem and BLICK in Beaverton. If you take your materials list in, they will help you find what you need.
Drawing is fundamental to all artwork, and it is a skill that anyone can learn with a bit of practice. Let me show you traditional techniques to capture proportion and the components of light so that you can get the effects you want. The best part is that these skills are really fun because they really work. After just one day you will see distinct improvements and feel your confidence and skill grow. No matter what your favorite medium is, or if you want to draw for traveling or journal making this class is for you. Come with zero experience or to review these useful ideas. You will be glad you did.
Drawing the human head is one of the most satisfying subjects an artist can do, and like all drawing, there is a method to get it right. In this workshop we will start with the very basics and use these fundamentals to capture the proportions and light and shadow shapes that create the illusion of a human head on paper. Join me for fun and learning and see real improvement in your skills. This is a great follow up to the Joy of Drawing workshop June 10 and 11th.
I will discuss additional colors you might wish to use, and if you wish, you can limit this to a warm and a cool of the primaries, red, blue and yellow.
You can find most of the art supplies at the Art Dept. Salem, Michael’s or Hobby Lobby, or purchase online at Cheap Joe’s or Blick Art Supplies. Other items can be found around the house.

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.
