Welcome to the Drawing & Painting Department!

EAC offers a variety of styles and media for adults interested in drawing and painting ranging from beginner classes in figurative or representational styles to abstraction, acrylic and oil to encaustic and mixed media. We encourage students of all ages and backgrounds to experiment with drawing and painting and associated materials, compositions and techniques in both traditional and creative ways in a safe, supportive space.

EAC's faculty members are teaching artists with many years of experience in art practice, teaching, exhibiting, and nurturing budding and seasoned artists.
