Tuesdays, Feb 3-March 10 (6 sessions) | 9:30 am-12 pm

Instructor: Susan Gray Bé

In this class you'll learn how to observe light as interconnected space, and how to capture it by blending and contrasting color and tone. You'll discover techniques to enhance the three-dimensional quality of form and support personal expression.  Whether your work gravitates toward delicate detail or more abstract forms, this help will help you develop a vision by using your favorite mediums.

Designed for beginners as well as developing artists at all levels of experience, this class begins in charcoal, then progresses into a color media of the student’s choice.  Click here for a materials list.
