Art From Your Start is your chance to explore art in a way that’s entirely your own. Under the guidance of artist Barbara Guerriero-Flites, students bring images that inspire them and, together, choose the project that best matches their experience and goals. Students create work that allows their unique style and imagination to shine in a relaxed, judgment-free environment. Barbara brings 30 years of teaching experience, a Master’s in Art Education, and degrees in Art History and Social Work, making her an expert mentor for guiding each student’s creative journey.

Students should bring a 16x 20 canvas, a set of acrylic paints, and a variety of brush in assorted sizes.

This class is perfect for artists who are comfortable with watercolor painting but still want some hands-on guidance with the medium. In this class, we'll explore using still life setups in the studio or at home, as well as photographs. Each session kicks off with a brief demo and some tips on color theory, composition, perspective, or specific techniques — or whatever topics the students are excited to explore. It’s a wonderful next step after Watercolor Exploration. This is the in-person part of our hybrid program. You’ll find classmates joining us in the studio, while others attend virtually through Zoom, creating a lively, interactive group.
