Textile Painting - a study of Batik 

The art of decorating cloth in this way, using wax and dye, has been practiced for centuries. In Java, Indonesia, batik is part of an ancient tradition, and some of the finest batik cloth in the world is still made there.
Students will study the way these beautiful textiles are created in Indonesia and then create a design of their own that will be transferred to fabric using glue rather than wax. Students will paint their fabric and then wash out the glue leaving them with a one of a kind piece of fabric.

Fees = $30 For artists 12 and older

We will also add watercolor after we have created ink drawings. This is a great class if you like to doodle as well as if you are into realistic drawing.

Realistic Grid Drawing Class

In this class we will learn a drawing technique that uses a grid overlay on a reference image that directly correlates with a grid on our drawing paper. This is an excellent way to control proportion and detail while drawing realistically. Learning to use this tool will also help you to more easily scale up a small reference image into any size you would like to make it. We will use drawing pencils and tools and increase our shading and drawing skills.

Fiona French - Adult Illustrator class

Every once in a while I have adult classes in the evenings. I love them! In this class we studied the same book, "Paradise", by Fiona French. We did the same technique as the kids. We used black glue and watercolor to create some pretty 

amazing art work!!

Some students used alcohol with their watercolors

It was fun to work out color plans with just the right amount of contrast.
