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.

CREATIVE PLAY DATES FOR THE WEEKENDS AFTER
Are you wondering what to do the weekend after the holidays, in these times of avoiding crowds and limiting travel? 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. |
2021 Classes
Once an artist has a beginning class behind them, how do they continue to grow in their media? Studio classes are a great answer. As part of our new dedication to the study of fine art, the Quinlan Academy of Art, we offer 2 media categories, Oil / Pastel, and Watercolor / Drawing, coached by working artist and teacher Sara Oakley. Within these categories, 2 sessions each are offered with a short break in between. Sara is known for providing solid “nuts & bolts” instruction, not only specific to your media and goals, but also those skills common to any media or style. These working studio sessions are adapted to your art preference, but laughter and friendships are always included. Social distance is part of the plan, so enrollment is limited. The studio is ADA compliant. If you need advice about whether you are ready for a studio class, let us know and Sara will be in touch.
