Working in the student's choice of paint medium (oil, acrylic, or watercolor), Annette will teach students how to successfully paint a pet portrait. Students will learn how to break down the figure of a pet or animal into basic shapes to help take the fear of inaccurately depicting the subject. Using photographic references, learn how to simplify the subject's form, which is a valuable skill in drawing/painting and can be applied to still life's and the human figure. Students will learn portrait and painting techniques to capture the likeness of animals, and become more comfortable with their favored paint medium, discovering new skills in painting and drawing. Students should come to class with photographic references of the pet or animal they would like to paint. Teens 14+ are welcome to enroll.

For adults ages 17+.

The Field is a peer-to-peer forum for artists to share work and exchange feedback. The Fieldwork method reveals how each piece is perceived by others and fosters a detailed information exchange that is both efficient and supportive.  Unique to Fieldwork's structure is use of only non-suggestive feedback sharing - a fun challenge that develops communication skills.  Insightful and stimulating critiques are guided by an experienced facilitator. Artists working in any medium (performing, visual, new media, craft, folk art, design, literary, music) are invited to attend, the groups are aesthetically diverse. Fieldwork is effective for beginning, emerging, and established artists. Participants may share completed works or works-in-progress. By practicing Fieldwork, artists benefit from; expanding feedback skills across disciplines, other artists, jump starting their practice, making progress on developing projects, audience building, and gain an understanding of how and what their work communicates to viewers.

Working from both a live model and self-portraiture, explore the formal and expressive aspects of portrait drawing. Through both short and long poses, students will learn the basic anatomy and proportions of the human head, and investigate various approaches to personal expression.

In this class students will work with Emily to discover various methods of drawing. This class will be an exploration of drawing materials. Students will be given the opportunity to experiment with different colored paper, charcoal, graphite, powdered graphite/charcoal, white charcoal, pastel pencils and liquefied graphite and charcoal. Students may bring in images they wish to work with or a still life will be set up for each class.
