drawing Mediums we work in:
Pencils & Artist Pencils
A pencil is one of the simplest tools, and one of the easiest to get ahold of. Learning to draw and measure objects to recreate them on one’s page is a very important tool that is easily mastered with just a little bit of time.
Working with artist pencils at the beginning allows students to learn touch and pressure control of their mark making - an important skill that translates to painting as well!
Colored pencils
Colored pencil - another readily accessible art tool! Students work in colored pencil when we begin our study on the color wheel and basic color theory. In addition, learning to blend in color pencil is an excellent way to work on one’s touch and pressure control! More controlled blending means less visible pencil lines.
Charcoal
While it can seem challenging in the beginning, students will quickly learn why charcoal is Mrs. Erin's favorite medium! It goes down quickly, erases out to create textures, works wonderfully for working large, and always looks like a masterpiece!
Oil Pastel
A fun and forgiving medium that is vibrant and easy to work with. For younger students, we work in oil pastel when we first begin our color theory lessons. They are easy to blend, less messy and wonderfully efficient for working on large artwork!
Pen & Ink
A more advanced medium that students typically begin after learning about drawing from life and controlled mark-making. Student’s learn to make decisive pen marks in order to create realistic texture -AND- how to camouflage and adjust for mistakes.
Pen & Ink is an opportunity to practice controlling where a viewer looks and what is most important in the drawing.
painting Mediums we work in:
Acrylic
Oil (Teens & adults only)
Watercolor
Acrylic paint is a versatile, fast-drying medium commonly used in our classes. It is water-based, making it easy to clean up with soap and water while still wet. Once dry, it becomes water-resistant, allowing for layering and bold, vibrant colors. Its quick drying time makes it ideal for classroom projects, enabling students to work efficiently without long waiting periods.
Watercolor
Oil (Teens & adults only)
Watercolor
Watercolor paint is a translucent, water-based medium frequently used in art classes. It dries relatively quickly, allowing for fluid blending and layering techniques. Since it reactivates with water, it remains easy to adjust even after drying. Its washability makes cleanup simple, making it a great choice for student projects and expressive painting styles.
