Open Studio Class

Students complete their own fine art drawing and painting projects with Shane McDonald as a guide. This class is ideal for students who have had some basic drawing or painting instruction, and are wanting to improve their skills using oils, acrylics, pastels, charcoal, or colored pencils.

Anyone 12 or older who has previously taken a beginning drawing or painting class with Shane or another instructor is eligible to participate. Although easels and small tables for supplies are available to use, students are expected to bring their own ideas, references, and art materials.

How the class works...

Shane begins class by walking from one student to another individually critiquing each student's progress on his or her project. Each person receives instruction in the form of recommendations, encouraging comments, and answers to questions. Sometimes Shane will quickly sketch ideas for students who have trouble visualizing ways to solve artwork problems. If permission is granted by the student, Shane will also demonstrate techniques on the students' work.

Students agree to assist one another in this open studio class. It is encouraged to have an open dialogue with other students to help each other.
