Students also learn how to add depth, contrast, dimension and power to their work.
Lessons are both fun and informative. They are tailored to meet the needs of the individual student according to their level of knowledge and experience.
Younger students and beginners are encouraged to try their hand at several mediums such as drawing, painting, pen & ink, pastels, water colors, scratch board and mixed media.
