About Our Youth & Teen Courses


Our Drawing and Painting Fundamentals Class begins with drawing exercises in black and white using pencil and pen and ink. After basic skills are learned, students advance to color using watercolor paint. All of our students advance at their own pace. Each class builds on the next, laying a strong foundation of drawing skills, color mixing, and painting techniques. As drawing is the foundation of artistic practice, emphasis is placed on teaching the fundamentals of drawing logically and simply.

Students become familiar with the expressive quality of line and improve their eye/hand coordination and focus. After students have demonstrated a basic understanding of drawing, they begin painting in watercolor. While we emphasize lines in drawing, painting is a medium devoted to mass and color. Watercolor is a great medium to learn these concepts and develop their skills quickly.
