New Classes and Workshops in Evanston!

After sharing pictures from last year's painting classes at the Evanston Art Center, I had a bunch of people reach out to me about wanting to learn how to paint and hoping to take a class with me because they loved the work my class produced. I love hearing this feedback and I'm so excited to announce that this year, I proposed to teach TWO adult classes at the art center, and they've both been added to the catalog! I'll actually be accepting ages 16+, so this is a great option if you have teen or adult children that might want to take a class with you as well. 

Here are the details: ​

Starting at the end of March, I'll be teaching a 7-week Intro to Acrylic Painting Through Landscapes for beginning painters on Wednesdays. In this class, I'll teach you the basics of acrylic painting to create beautiful landscapes while exploring a variety of color schemes and painting techniques.

On Thursdays, I'll be teaching a 7-week Painting Cityscapes & Architecture in Acrylic for those of you who previously took my landscapes class, or intermediate painters with prior acrylic painting experience. In this class, I'll take your skills to the next level through teaching you how to paint detailed cityscapes and architecture from photos. We'll continue to build on the basics of color mixing and various painting techniques, and also learn how to compose representational scenes combining landscape features with more solid/industrial structures.

Interested? You can sign up online for either class using the links above or this one: Click for registration. You can also register by phone if you prefer 847-475-5300 or in person at the Evanston Art Center. 

At my newest gig, the Art Makers Outpost, I have 2 BYOB workshops (Ages 21+) coming up. The first one will be Saturday March 21 at 6:30pm, Oil Pastel Flowers on Reimagined Surfaces. We'll explore the versatility of oil pastels to create beautiful floral paintings. You will be guided through a variety of techniques to leave with a display-worthy work of art on a reclaimed surface. Beginners welcome and all supplies provided.  Click here to register.

My second BYOB (21+)  workshop  at the Art Makers Outpost  will be Mixed Media Texture Collages, Saturday April 25 at 6:30pm at the Art Makers Outpost. Working from our collection of reclaimed materials, you will learn how to create eye-catching mixed media collages. No experience? No problem! You will be guided every step of the way. Beginners welcome and all supplies provided. Click here to register.

Hope to see you in class!
