Painting with Charcoal

Emily, charcoal 16x14" by Brenda Hash, PSA

Come discover some fun ways to work with charcoal. The subject matter will change. We will start with a landscape to understand the techniques and then move to subjects you choose. We will use brushes, stumps, powdered charcoal, charcoal pencils, charcoal bricks, kneaded erasers and acetone spray for some exciting painterly effects.

Cost: $450 (twelve, 3-hour classes) 

Art of Your Choice

Pink Roses, oil, 12x24" by Brenda Hash, PSA

Work in pastels, oils or charcoal and choose your own photo references. Several brief lectures will be given during the semester to review composition choices, correct use of perspective, color analysis, and problems using photographic references. This is your opportunity to study what you want to study and paint what you want to paint!

Cost: $450 (twelve, 3-hour classes)
