Winter art classes

Jenni Long

If you are looking for some fun and creative activities this winter, look no further than the SaddleBrooke Fine Arts Guild. They are offering a variety of art classes including guest instructors Pat Dolan and Barry Dodge from The Drawing Studio. Their classes are Contemporary Sumi-e, Drawing and Painting with Your IPad and Pastels. Pat Dolan will also be giving individual critiques on Friday, February 17 from 9:00 a.m. to noon in 30 minute sessions. This is a rare opportunity to receive supportive feedback from a master teaching artist.

Barbara Cowlin, a popular instructor from Oracle, will be giving a three session class on acrylics in March entitled Go with the Flow. Barry Sapp will be teaching a series of four classes of water color and acrylics on paper in March. The subject matter is horses and burros.

Registering for classes has never been easier since the Guild now has online signups where you can pay with PayPal or your personal credit card.

All classes are held in the Topaz Room with the exception of Drawing and Painting with your IPad which will be held in the Saguaro Room at MountainView Clubhouse.
