Beginning May 30 this six-part series is an exploration of acrylic painting and mixed media techniques, from foundational principles to the integration of collage and found objects in your work. You'll learn about viscosity, transparency, and surface qualities so you can choose the products that will enable you to meet your artistic objectives. You'll examine the role of value in creating a strong composition. You'll embellish paper to create original collage elements, and learn to layer those elements into your painting. Finally, you'll practice using these techniques to create both a landscape and an animal portrait.

Internationally celebrated artist Jean Pederson will be your guide as you expand the possibilities of your acrylic painting practice.

Live online classes will take place from 1:00 to 3:00 pm ET on the 4th Saturday of each month from May 2026 through October 2026.
Recordings of these sessions will be available on demand until 30 days after the last workshop in the series.

Beginning January 31st this four-part series takes you on a transformational journey through the essential techniques of watercolor portraiture, while exploring the profound differences in how we capture faces across the human lifespan. You'll learn not only the technical skills – water control, luminosity, bold expression – but also how to observe and honor the anatomical shifts that happen with age, from the soft curves of childhood to the character etched in mature faces.

Watercolor artists Lorraine Simonds will share how she weaves story and emotion into every brushstroke, what she looks for when choosing a moment to paint, and how understanding human relationships deepens the portraits we create. This series builds both technical mastery and the confidence to paint with authentic emotional resonance, helping you discover your unique voice in capturing the essence of the people you love.
