ADult level classes
SCROLL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO REGISTER
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 their own 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:
These classes are self direction approved. If you are paying through self direction funding, please use the registration buttons to register and pay. Please inform us of how you will need the attendance sheet and receipts written out, and please give us three days notice to prepare these items.

COVID 19 Response
To keep our students and families safe, we have implemented the following new procedures in our classes:
Limited attendance. One student and one child will be permitted to work together in each class (Please leave siblings home as we are trying to reduce the number of people in our studio at a time.) Each adult/child group will work together at an individual table.
New entry procedures:Students will line up outside at the start of class and will be let in one group at a time. Student Temperatures will be taken before being permitted to enter (must be under 100). Students must use hand sanitizer or wash up before entering the classroom. Clean aprons will be provided for each student. At this time, masks must be worn by students when entering/leaving and moving around the studio. They may remove while seated. Teachers and staff will continue to wear masks for the foreseeable future.
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.
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.
Locked DoorsDuring 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.
