Drawing & Painting with Style and Confidence with Anne Kullaf 8:30 am – 9:30 am $200 (4 Day Session) Anne has exhibited at the National Arts Club and will be featured in a 2008/2009 traveling museum exhibit, "The New Reality: The Frontier of Realism in the 21st Century". She regularly exhibits in New York City at the Salmagundi Club and is represented by the Michael Ingbar Gallery. "Many of my students tell me they are interested in 'loosening up,' or that they feel their work is too tight. This class takes the finished painting out of the equation and focuses on practice, something every artist needs to do." Using her own sketchbooks as examples, Anne will demonstrate exploring a subject in multiple mediums and multiple sketches to build confidence, translating into more accomplished paintings. www.kullaf.com.

This class encourages experimentation and practice while you learn how to see shapes and values that will allow you to draw and paint in a more intuitive manner. Using charcoal for value studies, and oil or acrylic for color studies, emphasis will be placed on using each medium to its best advantage. At the end of the class series, you will have several sketchbooks of ideas that can then be pursued as finished paintings.

All levels are welcome. 10am - 3:30pm (four days), with lunchbreak Cost for EEAC members $170; nonmembers $200 Session beginning with Yoga available August 26, 27, 28 from 8:30-9:30 am.

Join Certified Yoga Instructor Kate Buhler for a One-Hour Yoga Class Before Your Day Of Art $45 (Cost for 3 Sessions) Join certified yoga instructor Kate Buhler for a one-hour yoga class before your day of art. The practice of yoga can increase the flow of energy and creativity by releasing physical, mental, and emotional tension and blockages. These ancient practices can help you approach your art from a "beginner's mind", free of critical voices and rigid expectations. Each session will begin with a centering, followed by yogic breathing, gentle warm ups and yoga postures suitable for beginning to experienced practitioners. Sessions will end with relaxation and meditation. From here, the journey into harmonious and satisfying artistic expression begins. Please wear comfortable clothing and refrain from eating for 2 hours prior to session. (a small snack (i.e., toast, fruit or juice) may be taken 1 hour before if needed).
