Our adult Painting and Drawing classes work as independent studies. This class setting is suitable for all levels of experience. Many of our students are long term and have been studying with us for years, and many are brand new to painting and drawing. This open level class environment allows students to thrive at their own level. Group discussions and critiques are built into this style of class, to give students positive motivation and constructive feedback on how to improve their artwork.
Class structure:
Class sizes are kept small (up to eight students per class.) Each student sits at their own table and receives independent instruction form the teacher. Students who are new to this class will be given extra attention in the first classes so that the instructor may learn about the student's interests and help create reasonable class goals for them. Many beginner students will choose to work from photographs at first. (We have many stock photographs in our studio, or you may bring in a picture from home.) Students will receive individual instruction on how to break down thrown personal photographs and work with them as drawings or paintings.
Students may choose to work with acrylic paints, watercolor, pencil, colored pencil, artist markers or a combination of these materials. All materials are included and are community style, sanitized before and after every class. We supply bristol board and watercolor paper, but students who wish to work with artist canvas will need to supply their own.
Self Direction:
This class provides an inclusive environment and is approved for self direction reimbursement. Self direction students, please use the online registration tool below to register and email Michelle at sstylianou50@yahoo.com for any paperwork you may need for reimbursement. Please allow 3 days for us to process your request.

COVID 19 Response
To keep our students and families safe, we have implemented the following new procedures in our classes:
Limited attendance. All classes are limited to half occupancy with students sitting at their own individual tables 6' apart from each other.
New entry procedures:
Students will line up outside at the start of class and will be let in one at a time The student's temperature will be taken before being permitted to enter (must be under 100). Students will wear masks outside while lined up and through our lobby as they are escorted in. Students must use hand sanitizer or wash up before entering the classroom. Clean aprons will be provided for each student. Once seated, students will have the option of removing their masks. The teacher will wear a mask if they need to get within 6' of any student. Students will wash up again when exiting our facility.
For drop off students:
Please note, parent's must drop off at door. Door will be locked between students during check in time. All registration must be done online prior to the start of class. Please keep all communication at the door limited to help keep our check in process speedy and smooth. If you need to communicate with us, please do so by emailing Michelle at sstylianou50@yahoo.com or calling us at 631-744-4001 and leaving a message.
Exit procedures:
Class times are now staggered so that fewer people will be entering/exiting at one time. At exit time, only one child/parent group will leave the space at a time. You will need to sanitize again on your way out.
No wandering through the studio.
Supplies: We have implemented a "caddy system." Each table will have a personal caddy filled with the week's supplies. This caddy and it's contents will be sanitized thoroughly before and after each class.
Cleaning Logs:
We are now required by New York State to keep daily cleaning logs. During your classes, you will see supplies and areas continually being cleaned down to ensure the most sanitary environment possible for our students.
Feeling sick? Please stay home for the week and take advantage of our very flexible make up policy. If we suspect that you or your your student may be experiencing any signs of sickness, we will kindly ask you to leave our space (even if your temperature reads as normal.) Please understand that we must be vigilant in these unusual circumstances.
Ring System/ Locked Doors
During our class times, our doors will remain locked. Outside people will not be permitted to enter our space for any reason. All registration will occur online to reduce the number of people in our office at a time. We will be offering virtual tours only and all communication will be done virtually or over the phone.
