This schedule will change monthly based on scheduled classes and will be posted on our website at least 1 week prior to the beginning of each month. As long as it fits into this schedule\, you may use the studio as much or as little as you want. Remember\, this is unsupervised time\, there will be no instruction available…just quiet time for you to work. \nOpen studio access is available to purchase on a monthly basis. Upon sign up\, students will be given an access code to our front door to use upon entry and must lock up if you are the last to leave. That code will change monthly.  Once you sign up\, we will meet with you to go over studio logistics and have you sign a waiver. \n  \n

SUMMARY:August Monthly Watercolor - It's all about Dahlias!
DESCRIPTION:Magical dahlias are in bloom and they inspire me to paint them. They are\, however\, a tricky flower to paint in watercolor as they are very intricate. This class will focus on how to capture the grace and movement of these gorgeous\, unique blooms while focusing on the drawing and the use of wet into wet application and finding the light and dark to create depth. \nWe will use both photo references as well as the real thing if any of you want to paint from life. The dahlias will all be from Laura Grimm’s amazing Dahlia farm\, Bewitching Blooms in Far Hills\, NJ. \n
