Atelier Studies
Interested in taking your art to the next level? One of our most popular classes is our weekly Atelier Studies. Learn the key foundational skills that support your drawing and painting goals.
We also offer monthly small group sessions where you can receive instruction, advice, and critique while painting your own in-progress work.
