Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain
Retrace your steps to the days when it was fun to play
with art supplies and just make something all your own.
“Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain” means picking
up a pencil, doing a series of simple, low-stress exercises
and turning it all into hours of satisfying, deeply
meditative activity. Watch yourself progress, week after
week, from basic student to someone who will want
their sketchbook firmly in hand.
Thursday, 6 to 9 p.m., June 9, 6 wks.

Charcoal Landscape Drawing NEW!
Learn to draw landscapes with vine charcoal in a loose
and fun manner. Produce drawings in no time that
look exactly like the scene you’re viewing. Michael
McGuire will demonstrate an easy and fun way to
create convincing landscape drawings with simple
vine charcoal. Experience the fun similar to painting
with very large brushes. We will create “brushes” with
charcoal that sweep across the paper with ease and
delight. Only a few inexpensive materials are needed.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 12 to 4 p.m.,

Pastels at Twilight Off Campus
Pastel painting’s luminous color, combined with the
immediacy of drawing techniques, make this the perfect
medium to capture Santa Fe sunsets. Classes are held
outdoors; the first two hours of each class focus on
mastering pastel techniques and composition. The last
hour of class, as the light fades, is all color, and the
focus is on simplifying and loosening up. Good drawing
skills and prior experience are recommended. Each
participant’s individual way of seeing and learning is
supported. The course includes demonstrations and
critiques. Jane Shoenfeld has a Master of Fine Arts
degree from Pratt Institute. She has been teaching
pastel landscape painting for 17 years.
Thursday, 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., June 23, 6 wks.
