Drawing and Painting Workshops

I have created two workshops to share essential drawing and painting techniques to sharpen my students' eye and increase their creative skills. Experience the passion I put into my artwork and discover how you can increase your artistic confidence and capabilities with my art classes. Only at Natur-Tyme!

Drawing Still Life for Adults

Wednesday, July 20th | 5:00-7:00 PM | Cost: $40

In this two-hour workshop, students will use a still life arrangement as an avenue to study composition, design, and proportions with graphite pencils. This drawing demo/workshop will help students understand how to draw from life, the medium used, and to practice different drawing techniques. The still life will be set up indoors, in Natur-Tyme’s Community Room, and the materials will be provided by the instructor.

The Painter’s Color Wheel for Adults

Wednesday, July 27th | 5:00-7:00 PM | Cost: $50

In this two-hour workshop, students will create the painter’s color wheel as an avenue to study hue, value, and intensity with acrylic paint, and ask questions.

The Painter’s Color Wheel will be set up indoors, at Natur-Tyme’s Community Room, and the materials will be provided by the instructor.
