Sara Oakley
GREAT BEGINNINGS START AT THE "Q"!
(Socially distanced in the lower level Quinlan art studios)
For everyone who has ever wanted to learn from the very beginning of drawing or watercolor painting, we give you the 101 series of very affordable classes with Sara Oakley. Sara is a local artist and art coach, known for an irreverent and fun approach to learning the basic tricks of the trade of making art. She will guide you through materials to techniques to making a finished work of your own. Note that, as affordable as these classes are, you would be well-served to take them both, studying Wednesday & Thursday. With 2 weeks between classes, you will have plenty of time to practice.

For those of you who have a "bubble" of family or friends who feel safe together, we have cooked up a very fine day of creative play for grownups. Invite your bubble, pack your picnic, put on a white shirt (which WILL get paint all over it!), and come play with artist and teacher Sara Oakley. |
