Ages: Adult

Skill Level: Beginner, All Skill Levels

Instructor: Royce Deans

Materials Included? Yes.

Description: Brush up on the fundamentals of a variety of art mediums and techniques. In this first session, students will cover the basics regarding drawing, painting, and printmaking. You will learn how they each have their own strengths as well as how the techniques within each can intersect and build on each other. The first segment of classes will break down sketching, compositional drawing, and how to get to a finished drawn piece. In the second segment, the class will go over painting styles and techniques to specific mediums. The last portion of class will cover printmaking, giving students a unique look into the art form through monotypes, relief or linoleum printing, as well as drypoint etching. While this is an introductory class, it will be worthwhile no matter your level of artistic experience!

• Another session of this class continues in March 2026; Session 2 will build on the skills you learn in Session 1.
• Materials will be provided but students can bring in tools/materials that they like to use! Particularly during the painting-focused portion of class, students can bring in any specific paint mediums that they enjoy to use for their projects/learning.
