Figure Drawing and the Timeless Anatomical Principles of the Great Masters, Intro-inter: Mon, 6 - 9 pm
Suitable for all levels of artistic skills, this course analyzes the human form by drawing from medieval techniques of crosshatching found in works of such masters as DaVinci, Durer, Holbein, Raphael, and Rembrandt. Embracing the challenge of working from the live nude model via a series of exercises and demonstrations, the course focuses on the rib cage, pelvis and thigh, knee and lower leg, foot, shoulder girdle, arm, hand, neck and head. Using the traditional tools of nib, ink and charcoal, students will acquire the practical knowledge of the old masters in seeing light and form to shape and inform a personal, artistic approach to the human body.

Acrylics and Mixed Media Art - Techniques and Colour Theory, Intro: Mon, 6 - 9 pm
Register
During this course students are invited to try multiplied techniques in water-based media, such as acrylics, watercolour and gouache. We will start exploring combinations of transparency of watercolour with very careful, detailed dry-brush styles and solid strokes of acrylics, building up the desirable depth and volume with layers of colours. The course is designed for all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced, to present the basics, as well as a set of unusual Mixed Media techniques that are just plain fun. How to make your colour mixes look exceptional, how to emphasize the contrast; the different ways to create eye-striking compositions – that will be our ultimate goal.

Contemporary Printmaking, Intro-adv: Mon, 6:00 - 9:00 pm
Contemporary printmaking is a class for all levels of expertise. The main goal is to learn the fundaments of printmaking, from technique to appreciation in an open and welcoming environment. The class works as an open studio allowing the students to work in their own pace and allowing me to work one on one. The techniques to be explored are Relief printmaking, (woodcuts and linocuts), drypoint and introduction to etching and aquatint, and for more advanced students, intro to lithography.
This class is great for beginners in printmaking as well as experienced printmaking artists with non-typical ideas or people interested in pop art.
The idea of the class is to integrate printmaking techniques and qualities in your personal work. Unlike other print classes, this course is more focused on the aesthetic and visual possibilities of printmaking, and not the “hard rules”. This class is not about what you can't do but is about all the different approaches of printmaking techniques.

This print class introduces students to intaglio (collograph) printing techniques, enabling them to explore their own imagery through the versatility of print.

Multiple Watercolour Techniques: Contemporary Edition, Intro-inter: Tues, 6 - 9 pm
Register
This course is focused specifically on DIY-advice and practical exercises aimed to help attendees get rid of so-called “prejudice about difficulties with watercolour”. Through series of simple, clear, step-by-step guidance they will become aware of their artistic skills, get to know how to use washes, mixes, how to avoid rundowns and will be able to create multi-layered, intricate compositions. Series of sessions are designed to help students to find and develop your own style, to experiment with water-based media such as ink, gouache, watercolor crayons, chalk pastels and different resists. You will be encouraged to find subjects that interest you – and instructions will be given to help you reach your highest creative potential and feel satisfied with your accomplishments.
