Crows - a Study in Silhouettes

$135

with Doris Ettlinger

Corvids are smarter than your average bird. They keep an eye on the neighborhood. And they're very graphic. That is, they're very striking on the page. Learn to create silhouettes of these canny creatures in different poses. Then paint a dead tree and populate it with a murder of crows. You'll discover that the birds are more colorful than they seem.

Figure Sketching in Watercolor

$135

with Doris Ettlinger

Calendar Nov 8, 2026 at 11 am

Learn to capture the essence of the pose by sketching quickly and painting just a little slower. Working with a clothed model, we’ll warm up with gesture drawings, then paint short poses with one color for the shadow. We will build up to painting a longer pose exploring how light interacts with the figure, revealing its form and details. We’ll let colors blend where the values are the same. Their figures were full of light and life.
