Colored Pencil Basics
For those who prefer to work in color, but enjoy the immediacy and hassle-free aspects of graphite, colored pencils are the choice. These pencils are made with a wax-and-pigment “lead” and come in a variety of hues and hardness. Working with a French palette (limited selection of colors), students will improve color-mixing skills while exploring hue (pure color), tint (added white), tone (added black), value (lightness or darkness) and intensity (strength). Exercises will include some contour drawing, value studies and scales. This class is designed for those who want to improve their skills with color. Students progress at their own speed. Supply List

We will explore some of the different mediums that can be combined with acrylics. This class is designed for those who want to explore acrylics and does include individual instruction. Supply List

Make-Up Classes
Make-up classes can be arranged on an individual basis or if there are enough students, then a group make-up class can be arranged.
Private Lessons
For those who prefer to work in a private or one-on-one setting, then a private lesson is the choice for you. Private lessons are tailored to the individual. After a free initial evaluation we will meet on an agreed upon schedule. Cost of private lessons runs $25 per hour.
Student Ages
While much can be said for having students of only one age in a group class, I enjoy the inter-generational aspect of having students of different ages in my classes. The classes in this schedule are designed for students as young as 12 and as old as whoever wants to learn.
Students younger than 12 may be accepted in these classes after a private evaluation. I’ve taught students as young as 5, but it is usually done in a semi-private or private class.
Class Location
All classes are are taught at Cottonwood Center for the Arts at 427 E. Colorado in downtown Colorado Springs.
