Drawing with Colored Pencil by Laurie Brussel.

Four Tuesdays (November 28 to December 19) from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Colored pencil is a very impressive, sensitive medium. When used properly the colors become luminescent. You’ll learn to use medium to get the most valued results. Lessons in color theory and composition are also included to help you understand the total color drawing.

Step by Step Acrylic: Starry Night Silhouette by Tracy Ann Holmes.

Thursday, December 7 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Perfect for painters of all levels, this class takes you through all the steps of creating an acrylic painting—from under drawing to layering and detailing. You will take home a finished 9"x12" piece of art.

Fancy Fellow Watercolors by Karen Brungardt.

Wednesday, December 6, from 1 to 4 p.m.

Learn to use a Sharpie pen, combined with watercolor, to produce a fine-lookin' rooster. This is a fun class, where photos, Sharpies and step-by-step instructions are included.
