June 2016 – Art Class offerings

Good morning, class! (This is when you all respond in unison: “Good morning, Professor Craz!”)

This can be called “Summer of the Marker” since I am offering some of my popular Prismacolor Marker classes again! I will be offering two classes through The Art Store in Henrietta, NY and one class through the Rochester Brainery in Rochester, NY’s Village Gate. The Introduction courses at each location are low commitment (all supplies provided) but the Art Store version has an additional worksheet to learn texture and background techniques including grassy fields, starry skies, fur, and brick.

Sign up now – Classes fill up quickly!

Payment for the class is due at the time of sign up to reserve your spot. In the event the class is cancelled by The Art Store, students will receive a full refund. If you wish to withdraw from a class, you must cancel one week before the first meeting to receive a refund minus $20 registration fee. No refunds will be given after this time. Supply lists available in store or via email upon request.
