Thursdays Watercolor Class with Tiffany Collins10 a.m.-noon $35.00

Just to give you a few ideas I will have reference photos and help with the first steps to capture the painting you are seeking. We will work on shadows and highlights along with letting the colors and water flow throughout the piece. Timing is everything with watercolor so you’ll learn to slow down and trust the process.

DARE TO DRAW with Tracy Bruton
"Have you ever wanted to learn to draw, to lose yourself in the magic that happens with a piece of paper and a drawing tool? Well, you CAN. Everyone can! In this class I will teach you how to see like an artist sees. If you can SEE it, you can draw it. Imagine being able to convincingly render anything that is placed in front of you. The class will be taught in bite-sized increments to guarantee success. You will be amazed by your progression. We will begin with Graphite but will eventually expand to charcoal, oil pastel, pen and ink, and more. All of your supplies will be provided." Contact Tracy by email here.
