Everyone is welcome. You can work in acrylic, oil, watercolor, or drawing —while we focus on the same essential skills: color, light and dark, composition, line, and more.

What to expect each week:

Friendly, supportive community

Individual feedback on your work and goals

Visual studies of real subjects

Instructor demonstrations (painting/drawing techniques)

No materials yet? No problem—John will share the basics so you can try things out.
