This ongoing Advanced fast-paced painting class will cover different watercolor subjects and techniques each week. We will cover the different tools such as types of paper, colors, brushes, and techniques. We will cover how to use the water and brushes to get the desired effect. We will cover the different line weights and strokes used in painting. The class will cover lighting, shadows, perspective, color theory, and more. Some of the subjects will be animals, landscapes, still life, buildings, and plants. Each lesson will give specific techniques along with a different subject. Each class will cover a different subject, so drop in to learn to sketch something new. Because this is advanced and fast-paced the students need to be able to tell me if they need more time or to slow it down. I ask frequently how are you doing and whether are you ready to move on. This is to gauge the pace in no way is it meant to hurry or rush. If you are looking for a slower-paced class or entry-level please look at my other classes.

Teacher expertise and credentials

We teach anything art, creativity, and design. From beginning Sketching to advance techniques. Art is learning how to see and use a basic skill toolbox. Once you learn these things anyone can add your style and become an artist or designer. Design and art are everywhere around us, graphic design, architecture, product design, fashion design and so much more. It is fun and exciting. A great adventure to explore your creative side!
Our drawing classes focus on confidence build and skill development. We work with the students to help them feel good about whatever level of drawing/creating they are at. Good just comes with time and practice. Confidence and enjoyment are the key components to creating fun, and sometimes great art. All of our classes are stand-alone lessons that any student from any level is welcome to join. Our goal isn't to build fantastic drawings everytime, but to practice hand-eye coordination and a positive mindset while drawing.
We offer classes from Nicholas Gillett an amazing professional Graphic Designer of 15 years and all around artist. He has worked independently and in-house at major design firms. He has designed everything in the print world from logos to posters. He is a brilliant creative mind and makes amazing art out of found objects. He adds a fun quirky energetic approach to learning art.
Sheri Gillett has been an Industrial designer for 35 plus years. You may have used a product I designed! I have won 5 major design awards and have over 55 patents. I have a BA in Design and an MS in CTE Education. She taught Industrial Design, Art, Architecture, and Graphic Design at the high school and college levels. I love hands-on learning and project-based learning. If a student is engaged, motivated, and excited they can make great things! she loves to collect odd things and create something amazing out of them.
