...and so, so, so much more!

Each week we will focus on a "hands on" painting technique complete with demonstrations and critiques and... We will also touch (organically adjusted by class) on the other things (with surprise special guests) that make being an artist both challenging and rewarding!

Scratchboard and Watercolor

Work by Rick Wheeler

Scratchboard and Watercolor

Rick Wheeler: Scratchboard and Watercolor Class! What fun!

You ready to try something different and fun?

Friday - Sunday, October 14-16, 9am - 4pm $350


Although scratchboard is considered a drawing medium, it can produce magical, one of a kind images that replicate the look of traditional prints. The act of scratching designs and images into a pre-inked black board allows for a variety of results, ranging from the highly detailed to expressive, loose woodcut-like effects.

Join artist, designer and illustrator, Rick Wheeler as he also shows you how to combine scratchboard with painting (watercolor), giving your drawing even more life.

Please call the office to register for this workshop or reach Rick for any questions you might have follow the link below.

Steve Kleier Classes at OSA

Work by Steve Kleier

The sky is turning steely so autumn looms. Steve is putting aside the warmth of summer for the energy of fall. Its a great time to get back to drawing and painting. The classes Steve offers at OSA resume Tuesday and Wednesday Sept 13 and 14.

Tuesday morning Watercolor Class, 10am-1pm. We will start the year by reviewing some fundamentals and applying them to landscape  painting. Like last year, the subjects will vary and as the year progresses we will cover a wide range of subjects and technique. Follow along or create your own. $25 drop in fee.

Wednesday evening Drawing and Painting, 630-830pm. This fall we will start with some watercolor fundamentals and how to use them in painting. This class is very similar to the Tuesday morning class and often shares the same subject. Follow along or create your own. It is a 2 hour class so the fee is $20 drop in.

NEW for 2016 Tuesday afternoon Drawing Class!
Tuesday Afternoon Drawing Class begins September 13, 2-4pm
This Tuesday afternoon class will offer lessons of special interest. Each month is a new topic and will give the student a solid understanding of a specific topic of drawing or painting. September is using travel photos. Each week I will demonstrate a technique using travel photos for reference. Follow along or create your own. These lessons are full of useful information presented in a clear, relaxed environment. I have been an instructor at the OSA since 2007. Join me for fun and learning. Since these lessons are sequential I suggest to sign up for the series, one calendar month each. $25 each for the series of $30 each drop in.

Bring your usual materials to start.

If you would like information on any of these classes contact the OSA office at oregonsa@gmail.com or Steve at steve@stevekleier.com.
