A View Through the Window - Oil Pastel on Paper
-
If eyes are the window to the soul, windows can be called the eyes to the world! Windows and doors are a motif well-loved by artists from ancient times to today. Learn about different artists and styles, from the Pompeii to the Early Renaissance, to the 19th-century Realism, to Symbolism, Surrealism, and Modern art, and find your unique voice by drawing a life-sized window that overlooks a sea, or a door that opens onto a balcony over a lush garden, and let it inspire a story that unfolds inside or outside. All levels welcome.

Artist Erin Sandberg Paul painted the colored underlayer in latex house paint, while Art Theater Director Olya Losina demonstrated the scratching technique on top using a palette knife.
Scratching Technique: Floral Bouquet
-
Learn to draw with movement, not just lines - scratching spontaneous sketches into wet paint to capture florals with energy and emotion. This technique turns painting into performance; inspired by Olya Losina’s Art Theater, this floral-based course combines observation, speed, and creative freedom.

Abstract Art with a Meaning: Mixed Media
-
Create powerful abstract artworks using mixed media, words, and imagery. In this course, you'll experiment with newspaper clippings, magazine pages, and a variety of paper textures to build a piece that goes beyond traditional painting. By the end of the course, you'll have four ready to hang pieces and a deeper understanding of the expressive potential of abstraction. Perfect for all levels.

Essential Drawing Course for Beginners
-
In 12 classes, you’ll learn the techniques of drawing from the beginning. The drawings above are by students who joined this course as absolute beginners. You will build the skills by rendering objects and environments with a teaching method found nowhere else. All drawings will be created in monochrome (black and white) to focus on the basics: light and shadow, line, and dimension.
