Perfect for those with some drawing, painting, sculpture experience ready to expand their creativity and painting/drawing skills! Each 2.5-hour class includes:

• Structured exercises (30 min) in color, value, form, composition, line, and shape

• Artist/art history discussion (30 min) exploring diverse media and references for inspiration

• Studio painting time (1.5 hrs) to apply new skills, receive one-on-one input and support at the easel

Work across multiple media—pencil, charcoal, oil pastel, acrylic, watercolor—to discover what resonates. Complete three paintings with step-by-step instruction: a still-life, a piece from your own source material, and an abstract work. Build strong color mixing skills, learn the full painting process, and cultivate your creative voice.

Join artist Maggie Standley in her inspiring Burlington South End studio! Just bring a sketchbook—all other materials provided. 

Please note, the Open Studio Saturdays are optional, though a great opportunity to practice with support and use as make-ups! Warm up your brain, soul and palette this winter in Wingspan's cozy and inspiring studio.
