This class is open to both beginners and experienced painters. You’ll learn how to select colors and apply them in layers using various techniques, with tools such as brushes, palette knives, and other supplementary materials. Key concepts like composition, lighting, and values will be explored.
Students can choose one medium (Watercolors, Acrylics, or Oil) to focus on, allowing ample time to dive deep into the techniques and nuances of that medium. Each student works on their own project at their own pace, with the option to work from a still-life setup or reference photos. Subjects may include landscapes, seascapes, florals, still life, figurative pieces, and/or portraits.
While new concepts are introduced, individual mentoring plays a key role in this class, making it perfect for continuing students looking to refine their skills.
Note: Supplies are not included.

Mixed Media Collage
Instructor Kat Block
Dates : Sept. 11, 2025 - Nov.r 6, 2025
(No Class October 2, 2025)
Thursday 9:30am - 12:30pm
In this course, we will be creating mixed media collages. Let me be clear. The goal is not to come out with an exact representation of reality. Rather, we will be inspired by reality to realize our unique response to it. This is actually more complicated since it requires a lot of thought.
We will be structured around fundamental design principles and composition. In a sense you will be twisting reality to express your personal vision. It is intellectually challenging since it involves problem solving and decision making. In the end you will be making your materials submit to your will.
My role is to give you confidence and help you achieve your best possible result from your efforts.
I will recommend certain basic supplies, however, it would be a good idea for you to contact me before the course begins so that you don’t invest in a bunch of unnecessary materials. I can obtain supplies for a materials fee if you prefer.
This process is challenging for certain, but also extremely rewarding.
