Our Block 2 (Color) students have been hard at work lately. Not only are they mastering their color- mixing skills but they are also pushing the quality of their artwork to the next level.

This painting by Sabrina () is a great example of this!

What a fun week! Many of our students completed assignments these past few days and the quality of their work continues to amaze me.

Whether it is mastering color, gradients, highlights/reflections, or depth… the painting exercises they work through, allows them to build confidence in their application of these concepts.

It is never too late to pursue your dreams, so joins us for a free class by signing up here:
