Art isn’t just a practice—it’s a habit. This course encourages students to integrate creativity into their daily lives through structured exercises, prompts, and discussions on process over perfection. By studying artistic practices from different historic periods, we will examine how artists across time have incorporated daily rituals into their work. Students will also explore a range of materials and techniques, allowing them to experiment and develop their own creative routines. Whether you’re returning to art after a long break or looking to establish a new creative habit, this course provides the tools and inspiration to make art a fulfilling and sustainable part of everyday life.

Storytelling versus Story Painting? Or maybe not versus? Let’s tell your story in a painting. In this class, we will learn how to tell your story, convey atmosphere, and feel, and understand colors, lines, focal-point, framing, and depth. You can add (or deduct) from the painting that will tell your story! Let us hear your tale! an ongoing class and instructions. From the prehistoric images in the caves to Edward Hopper... from the bible in pictures to the most modern painters of our times... We will set our subjects in 4 meetings. If you miss a class there will be a recording available.

“Painting Music” is an intuitive painting and drawing, open session for everyone. No painting or drawing skills are needed. Move your paint as the music tells you... on a canvas or in your sketchbook. I create a one-hour playlist of the different subjects each week. You may paint one painting or 10 or as much as you want. No rules. You may interpret the music as figurative or abstract, anything goes! The camera of your device will be pointed to the working area, so we can also see the progress, and be inspired. After the session, we look at each other's artwork and talk about the process.
