Have you always wanted to learn how to paint or learn how to draw? Or are you interested in exploring other artistic forms of visual expression such as printmaking or sculpture? Even if you aren't new to art, you can fine tune your skills by learning some new painting tips or techniques. Whatever your atistic desires, Paula's supportive art workshops have something for everyone.
What students are saying:
"This program opened me up to a new way of thinking. Not only did Paula change my belief that I could not draw, she opened up a world of creativity that had been shut off from me . She is fantastic."
"The most valuable part of this program were the high levels of instruction, support, and feedback. Paula is a master teacher!" |

This versatile man-made polymer paint hit the art world in 1950s and has gained popularity ever since. Dilute the paints with water to create transparent washes of color in watercolor effect or use the paints thicker, building up layers of paint that can mimic oils. Create interesting textures through using brush strokes, palette knives and other objects and solutions added to the surface to create a mixed media. We'll explore line, color, value, texture, and composition in an informal setting. This class will have a studio approach with students working on their own subject matter with short teacher demonstrations when appropriate. Open to beginners and intermediates.
