Led by the amazingly creative Marci Bykat, this weekly class is open to artists of all levels who want to practice their drawing and painting skills alongside other artists. In this class you have the opportunity to work independently on your own art projects, and get advice from Marci when needed. If you want some inspiration, we have reference materials or a still life to work from.

If you are a beginner, Marci is here to show you the way! She is proficient in all drawing and painting mediums, and would be happy to help you explore something new.

*Bring your own preferred art materials with you, including: water-based paints, brushes, palettes, drawing tools, paper or canvas. But if it’s your first time, we will have some materials to help you get started.

*No oil-based paint allowed at this time.
