Paint with Colored Pencils Series - Mastering Values. Learning to paint realistic art starts with a basic knowhow of value - highlights, grey tones, and darker shadows. Think of greys in black and white photos! One secret to drawing is learning to see highlights and shadow shapes with hard and soft edges, created from range of values. Not talent – skill! Paint with Colored Pencils Series Summer Workshops “Eye” See You Master values by drawing a realistic eye on toned paper with only 2 colored pencils – black & white. Learn to draw in black and white using highlights and shadow shapes with hard and soft edges. No art experience necessary. Youth 12+ welcome with adult. All Supplies Provided!

It’s a beautiful day !!! Today the much anticipated work of resurfacing the roof began! So excited to see this much needed repair work done to ensure this building stands for many years to come ! Also with several groups taking the week off from their dance practice for spring break, we decided to deconstruct and repair the floor in Dance Studio A. Our DIY dance floor has lasted over two years now and it was time to do some major repairs. The roof work will take a few weeks and the dance floor will be ready by the time everyone returns next Monday. PROGRESS !!! Onward !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
