You are welcome to bring your own supplies that you are comfortable working with. We will work on some projects together, using the instructor’s references, and on individual projects of your choice based on your own interest in a subject matter. I will help you every step on the way. The objective for this class is that each student enjoys creativity and self-expression and develops his or her own style.  

    The class is offered on Thursday mornings (except September 17th which will be on Wednesday), the cost of the class includes 4 (four) 2-hour classes. If you miss the class, please request a make-up lesson, there will be no refunds for missed classes.

    Not only is going small economical, but it also enables you to finish something in a short amount of time, try new subject matter and mediums, create a ready stash of "giftables", and participate in art trades and have fun!

    Small Art examples include:

    • Artist Trading Cards (2.5 in x 3.5 in)
    • Post Cards (4 in x 6 in or 5 in x 7 in)
    • Greeting Cards
    • Index Cards (3 in x 5 in)
    • Small canvases, panels, papers, etc.


    This fun Small Art group meets the first and third Wednesday of each month (except for holidays and summer months).

    This group provides participants an opportunity to work on their art, get inspired, and create worry free art with other people also interested in Small Art.

    All levels are welcome! 

    Bring your favorite art supplies and let's get small!

    Please note this is not a class. It is a meet-up group for Small Art.

    Dates: Wednesday, November 5th and Wednesday, November 9th

    Time: 10:00am to 12:30pm

    In this class you will learn how to paint with soft pastels without having to purchase expensive materials and supplies.  We will cover all related topics, such as drawing, composition, color wheel basics, mixing colors and much more as we work. This class is suitable for beginners and intermediate level students. We will start with simple sketches to learn how to apply pastels and progress to more complex paintings. 

    Each student will be provided with a professional pastel paper and a limited palette of hard and soft pastels during class. You are welcome to bring your own supplies that you are comfortable working with. We will work on some projects together, using the instructor’s references, and on individual projects of your choice based on your own interest in a subject matter. I will help you every step on the way. The objective for this class is that each student enjoys creativity and self-expression and develops his or her own style.  

    The class is offered on Thursday mornings, the cost of the class includes 3 (three) 2-hour classes. If you miss the class, please request a make-up lesson, there will be no refunds for missed classes.  Make-up classes are usually offered on Fridays.
