Fees can be waived for Overton County students ages 12 and up.
Beginner
Beginners--this class is for you! You might have always thought that you'd like to draw or paint, but you simply never had the time or opportunity to do so. There are a million reasons why so many of us don't simply pick up a pencil or brush and try. But now you can. And you should. We're making it easy and fun. This class will teach you the skills you need to "see like an artist" and produce a completed still life oil painting.

No previous art experience needed

Intermediate
Take the next step! New artists who have taken our Beginner class are invited to learn how to fly solo. This class will add to (and reinforce) the skills you learned in the Beginner class. You'll develop a deeper understanding of the principals and techniques used to produce a more developed still life painting, whether in class or later on your own.
