A Journey Through Mixed Media Illustration

Get ready to awaken your inner artist in this dynamic and inspiring 5-week Saturday morning course! Whether you’re a curious beginner, a seasoned professional seeking fresh inspiration, or a passionate hobbyist, this hands-on workshop is your playground for artistic discovery.

Explore the expressive potential of acrylic inks, paints, watercolor, chalk, and colored pencils. Each session offers a new opportunity to experiment, combine, and push the boundaries of traditional techniques.

We’ll draw inspiration from the masters—both classic and contemporary—studying how they told stories through layers, textures, and bold choices. Then, using their work as a springboard, you’ll develop your own visual voice and personal narratives.

By the end of the course, you’ll not only have new skills and artwork to show for it, but a deeper understanding of how different materials can work together to create powerful, character-rich art.

Join us, and turn your creative spark into something extraordinary!
