“Art is for EVERYONE.”
Monica Foye, The Art Garage Owner
Adult Art Classes
If you've ever said the words, "I can't even draw a stick figure" - our studio is for YOU! We at the Art Garage believe that art is a learned skill that EVERYONE can grasp! No matter if you’ve picked up art as a hobby recently, or you’re just wanting to make it out of the stick figure phase, we have a class option for you.
Our Drawing Series starts with the drawing basics for realistic drawing, focusing on graphite and charcoal techniques. No experience is necessary to start the Drawing Series, but all artists can benefit from these classes as we delve into the methods of drawing realistically.
Once you’ve got the Drawing Series under your belt, expand on your skill and learn how to apply what you’ve learned in our Painting Series! We will go over color theory and learn how to manipulate paint on canvas to create well-composed images in color.

Painting Series
Painting 1
Once you’ve got the basics of drawing down, learn how to incorporate color theory and painting-on-canvas techniques to achieve your artistic vision! *This workshop is not for beginners. You will need basic drawing skills for this class and are expected to understand basic techniques. If you do not have basic drawing skills from another class, consider signing up for our Drawing Series (see above). We highly encourage the Drawing Series as a pre-requisite for this class, as we consider it to be a "pre-painting" class.

Cost: One Time $95 Supply Fee *AND* $80 Monthly Payment (4 Payments Sept-Dec)
