Toucans

Last week our students project was toucans in oil pastels. Mary was inspired to do these wonderful birds because of our trip out to Costa Rica. They came to the house we were staying at every morning for a visit. Truth be told they would peck the glass on our friends bedroom window very early each morning and soon became not so wonderful birds. Their magnificent looks and amazing beaks let them get away with it for the most part.

We are closed until August 30th!

Mary and I will be out of the country until August 30th. I will not be able to answer any calls or emails until we return. Sorry for any inconvenience. In regards to our classes none of them are full at the moment. If you wish to reserve a spot simply send me an email with your contact info, your child's name, the day and time you are interested in. I will answer the emails in the order I have received them and confirm with you Tuesday August 30th. Thank you, William and Mary.

Still Life With Fruit

Our students are using graphite to draw fruit in this weeks still life drawing project. They are learning about shading and depth.

Van Gogh's Fishing Boat

To kick off our classes for this school year our students are learning drawing and shading techniques from a Van Gogh painting. Instead of using paint they are using charcoal on brown paper. It’s a great project that really shows off our students talent.

We are back in the studio!

We were so busy yesterday I forgot to post that we are back in the studio and already enjoying a great start to this school year! We are surprised and thankful that our classes are filling up so fast this year. Honestly, this is the most students we have had during our first week in August. So if you plan on signing up do it now to make sure you get the day and time you want. Thanks, William and Mary.
