This immersive four-week class offers a hand-on deep dive into the world of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of 19th-century artists who rejected academic conventions in favor of vibrant color, precise detail, and poetic storytelling.
Students will explore the movement’s historical roots, aesthetic ideals, and influential figures such as John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Elizabeth Siddal., and John William Waterhouse. Each week combines art history discussions with focused studio practice, culminating in the completion of a painted mastercopy of a Pre-Raphaelite work.
This class aims to give students insight into the techniques, symbolism, and visual language that defined the movement—while building their own skills in composition, color mixing, and narrative painting.

Join us in learning the classical method of drawing the long-form nude figure in this six-week course. Participants will work with a single, sustained pose throughout the duration of the class, honing their skills in accurate observation, anatomy, proportion, and rendering.
Using Graphite, students will explore foundational techniques such as block-ins, measuring, preliminaries, and the careful study of light and shadow to achieve a highly lifelike drawing.
This challenging class is foundational in pushing our abilities well beyond what we believe we are capable of.

This class offers a focused exploration of color and pigment interactions in oil painting, with an emphasis on learning to quickly and accurately match colors from life and reference. Students will begin with a limited set of colors, practicing how to identify hue, value, and chroma, while slowly introducing more pigments to their palette.
This is a single weekend crash-course on learning how to mix with confidence, create cleaner mixtures, and make intentional choices in your painting process.

This class invites students into the study of botanical form through transparent watercolor. Emphasis will be placed on observing delicacy without sentimentality—understanding petals, stems, and leaves as clear shapes of light, shadow, and color rather than decoration.
Students will learn controlled wet-into-wet transitions, restrained layering, and compositional simplicity to create florals that feel luminous rather than overworked. By the end of the course, participants will complete several small floral studies rooted in clarity, structure, and gentle atmospheric color.
