There are still some classes and workshops available for those who have put off registering. Art making is a great way to combat winter doldrums. The instructors at Sanctuary Arts are noted for their expertise and for their kindness. It’s a terrible thing to be chastised because you don’t already know how to do the thing you are paying to learn. Instructors at Sanctuary Arts are chosen for their mastery and passion for their chosen field. But most of all, they are chosen because they are able to relate to students and are delighted to share their considerable expertise.
Bill Paarlberg offers Weekly Sketchbook Challenge (SA 4) on Tuesday mornings. He demonstrates in pencil, pen and ink, and watercolor, but you can use the medium of your choice. Bill has a lot of energy and shares his delight in art making with a range of experimental exercises to loosen you up and get your creative juices flowing. There is also still room in his Practical Watercolor Techniques; Tactics & Inspiration for the Beginner/Intermediate (SA 15), a one morning workshop on March 18.
