Weekly classes are the same intensive learning program as my workshops--at a much reduced rate. Artists of all levels are welcome, from beginner to professional.
Demonstrations by the instructor are followed by individual instruction to help students apply concepts, principles and techniques, and help them cultivate their own artistic voice. Demonstrations are in oil (unless a drawing or other class). Artists are welcome to work in oil, acrylic, watercolor or gouache.
Classes are ongoing—Terms are for accounting purposes only. Any day cancelled due to unclement weather (i.e., snow or ice) will be made up on the first week after the scheduled term.
Please contact Katriel for registration and questions, by email or telephone 843-580-8488. Payment by cash (appreciated), check or credit card.
We reserve the right to refuse admittance to anyone. Please be considerate of other students and the teacher. Thank you for your understanding.
