SaddleBrooke Fine Arts Guild is now partnering with The Drawing Studio to offer classes previously not offered in SaddleBrooke. Those classes include Classic and Contemporary Sumi-e, Drawing and Painting with Your iPad, Pastels and Friday Feedback, which will give an artist dedicated time with a working artist to review four to five pieces of work.
SBFAG has a new instructor for advanced beginner watercolor classes. Ann Johnson is an award winning artist who is collected by such notables as Steven Spielberg, David Letterman and Madeline Albright. Two of her lamps grace the East Wing of the White House. Ann has 47 years of teaching experience and will be a welcome addition to the SFBAG talented instructors. Her classes start in February.
Registering for classes has never been easier since SBFAG now has online signups where you can pay with PayPal or your personal credit card.
All classes are held in the Topaz Room with the exception of Drawing and Painting with your iPad, which will be held in the Saguaro Room at MountainView Clubhouse.
