Ellen's classes:
PictureStudent Rosemary holds a whelk shell drawing that she created during a 4-day, Level I workshop.
People have been asking me for a very long time to give lessons. When asked what they would like to learn, most answer “to paint like you!” They also ask if I'll teach watercolor painting, which I won't since that's not my present medium. It's so fortunate that I found Joanne, who is accomplished in all water media.

In order to paint like me - or best yet, a better version of yourself - starting in dates to be announced I am giving a limited number of 2-day graphite drawing workshops that will teach the skills that are behind every painting I create, whether seascape, landscape or portrait.

There is more involved in creating fine representational art than developing good hand-eye coordination. The most important skill you can develop is keen observation: of form, shape, light, shadow and perspective. 

I’ll assist you every step of the way with careful instruction on techniques, help you truly "see" your subjects and translate what you observe into drawings on a 2D surface that will with practice look three dimensional.

Beyond the Level I courses, my students will have the option to go to Level II and tackle a variety of more complex subjects.

Each graduate student of my Level II workshops may then qualify to take my Level III spring and summer workshops ~ using the skills you've learned, but in color.

My goal is to help each of you to be not just adequate but the best you can be, no matter your starting point. I look forward to seeing what you create!



What is being offered

Ellen's classes will be offered in three levels starting with the basics of three-dimensional drawing. Because of the high demand for Ellen's original paintings, class openings will be very limited.
