Current Classes

  • Acrylic Landscapes with Ben Bires

    Do you love the natural beauty of our high plains and mountains? Come paint your own landscape with Ben's guided instructions. Using acrylic paint, we will work background to foreground with a simple, loose approach to mark-making. The class will go over techniques such as color mixing, blending and layering. We will have print outs of landscapes to work from, but feel free to bring in a photo if that's really what you want to try. You will leave class with a finished piece ready to grace your wall, and new skills to practice at home. If you are inspired to learn more, try Ben's 4-week Acrylic Landscapes class!

    This class happens as part of our satellite partnership at Auric Gallery, 125 E. Boulder Ave. Enjoy the natural light and curated beauty of this lovely space, as well as nearby dining and shopping.

  • Alcohol Ink & Shellac Burn on Encaustic with Shannon Mello

    Encaustic painting is a process of painting using beeswax and tree resin, and melting it into layers.

    In this four-hour session, students will expand on encaustic basics, learning to layer with brilliant alcohol ink and textures with shellac.
    Students will experiment with encaustic paints, charcoal transfers, shellac burn, and alcohol inks.  Students will walk away with a practice piece, a 6”x6” panel, and an 8”x8” cradled panel ready to
    hang.  

    Prior experience with encaustic basics is preferred but not required.  Come ready to get messy and creative.  Looking forward to sharing my passion with you!


    MATERIALS

    All supplies are included. Please wear clothes you don’t mind getting messy in, bring your own drink of choice and I Shannon will supply some light snacks.

    Next Class Will Be Announced Soon!
