Introduction: We provide art classes for ages 7 to adult. Our system takes the student through a progression of charcoal, pastel and oil painting. Beginning with basics of drawing, learning how to use light and shadow to create realistic works, we move into soft pastel as a primary learning medium.
Students work from still life, landscape and if desired, portrait. Instruction is individual and student's work at their own pace and comfort level. Students can progress from pastel into oils. We love working with beginners but can accomodate all levels. We specialize in helping students prepare portfolios for magnet schools and colleges. Director Alan Fink has been painting professionally and teaching for 39 years.
