No experience needed! Just bring your enthusiasm—we’ll provide the guidance.

We’ll have the lessons, inspiring studio space, and encouragement; you provide your art supplies (list below), willingness, and favorite bottle of wine (or beverage of your choice)

Classes are 2.5 hours long and begin Thursday afternoon, April 24 and end on May 29 from 1pm-3:30pm

Students are responsible to purchase needed supplies–you can find Blick & Amazon links to the supplies needed for the class listed under the shop page or we can have a kit ready for you on the first day of class for $95. Make sure to email us in advance to let us know if you will need a kit.

Class limited to 12 students and will require a minimum of 6 to be conducted.

Supplies list: Links to supplies are on our website SHOP page for both Amazon and Blick.

  • Paintbrushes (for acrylic) I suggest at least 3 different sizes: a bright (size 10), bright (size 4) & round (size 2)–basically, big, medium and a small pointed brush 😉
  • a palette (palette paper works well) or a “Sta-Wet palette” even paper plates
  • acrylic paint in at least the 5 colors (red, blue, yellow, black & white–Liquitex Basics make a good starter paint set).
  • a 16×20″ canvas to paint on…canvas board, wood panel, back-stapled or whatever you’d like to try
  • Tabletop Easel (not necessary as you can borrow one from us, but if you plan to paint at home, I’d suggest an easel of some kind)
  • a palette knife (not absolutely necessary, but definitely worth buying)
  • pencil
