  Portraits are intimidating, but they can be broken down into easy to learn concepts that apply to all painting, and the smaller, fun portraits we will work on will take the fear out of the process. 

  
  

  Sally will provide all the supplies you need, but of course you are welcome to bring your own. There will be a short lesson on a key concept, and then you will have time to progress at your own pace. These classes are designed for beginner and intermediate skill sets.

  Find out how neurographic/doodle art can motivate and benefit you to embrace your own challenges with creativity and resilience.

  Neurographic art involves drawing freeform lines (also called "neuro lines") and shapes, and then transforming those lines by rounding off corners and intersections. The process is intended to be a meditative and creative experience, potentially leading to relaxation, stress reduction, and a deeper connection with oneself.

  
  

  Jeff will share his extraordinary story of overcoming extreme adversity while turning his experiences into personal masterpieces and finding solace in the creative process itself. You’ll have an unforgettable experience that leaves a lasting impact.

  To learn more about Jeff and his artwork, visit: www.JeffLungArt.com

  Classes will be held on Mondays for 12 weeks starting in late June, and you are welcome to attend all or some. Please Register for each class individually.

  This is a summer bridge class for students who would like to work on their soft pastels skills this summer. Each student will get individual attention based on her or his subject of interest.  We will cover all related topics, such as drawing, composition, color wheel basics, mixing colors and much more as we work. Since this will be a short one-hour class, the emphasis will be on critique and instructions that would help students to work at home on their projects. This class is suitable for beginners and intermediate level students. 

  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.

  The class is offered on Friday afternoon, the cost of the class includes 3 (three) 1-hour classes in July. 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.

  July 11, 18, and 26 from 1:00 pm till 2:00 pm.

  Cost $90 for TWAL members or $120 for non-members.

  If you have any questions, please contact Tetyana at taniadima@hotmail.com.

  We have a live model in the studio who will be in the same pose for the entire morning.  Models are clothed, and some may be in costume.  The individual sessions are 20 minutes with a ten minute break and then return to the same pose.  Artists are welcome to interact with each other during the breaks.

  Artists may bring whatever materials they prefer.  No VOCs or other harmful solvents, please.  Some easels or tables are available if needed.  

  We do ask for a $15 fee to cover the costs of the model and a bit extra for other expenses.

            Figure Drawing for Adults and Older Teens with Maurice Terry Jr.

  Class Overview:

  Join us to explore the art of figure drawing, where you'll learn to communicate the human spirit through lines and shapes. Whether you're a beginner or intermediate artist, this course will deepen your understanding of anatomy, proportions, and expressive techniques, all while fostering your unique style to create dynamic manga, or comic book characters.

  Course Goals:

  Grasp human anatomy and proportions through simplified geometric forms inspired by manga and comic book styles.

  Enhance observational skills using references such as photographs and mannequins.

  Master fundamental techniques including line work, form, perspective, and texture.

  Develop a personal artistic voice and expressive drawing approach.

  Cultivate a philosophical perspective on perception and representation.

  Let’s explore the art of the human form together and bring your        "manga, comic book character” visions to life!

  Session Structure:

  We'll begin with basic shapes and perspectives, learning how to construct the human figure. As the course progresses, you'll tackle more dynamic and complex poses, emphasizing action and emotion.

  Tools & Materials List: please have the following supplies ready:

  ● Pencils (HB, 2B, 4B, 6B)

  ● Pens (fineliners, brush pens)

  ● Markers

  ● Drawing pads or sketchbooks

  Optional: portable drawing table, easels, reference photos & mannequins

  Feel free to bring your preferred tools. We will work on collaborative projects using provided references and individual projects aligned with your interests. I will guide you step-by-step, helping you unlock your creative potential and develop your own style.

  Find out how neurographic/doodle art can motivate and benefit you to embrace your own challenges with creativity and resilience.

  Neurographic art involves drawing freeform lines (also called "neuro lines") and shapes, and then transforming those lines by rounding off corners and intersections. The process is intended to be a meditative and creative experience, potentially leading to relaxation, stress reduction, and a deeper connection with oneself.

  
  

  Jeff will share his extraordinary story of overcoming extreme adversity while turning his experiences into personal masterpieces and finding solace in the creative process itself. You’ll have an unforgettable experience that leaves a lasting impact.

  To learn more about Jeff and his artwork, visit: www.JeffLungArt.com

  Classes will be held on Mondays for 12 weeks starting in late June, and you are welcome to attend all or some. Please Register for each class individually. 

  COST: Per class - $45 for TWAL members, $65 for non-members
