Color Practice: Interaction and Harmony

5:00-8:00pm | Toledo Art Museum

Learn how color truly works by mixing a wide range of hues, neutrals, lights, and darks while exploring why colors interact the way they do. Through guided exercises and real‑world observation, students will understand the properties that affect color, how to create harmony, and how to control color relationships in any artwork. Great for painters and designers looking to strengthen their practical color‑mixing skills.

Drawing Bootcamp Part I

3 Thursdays, June  4, 11, 18, 2026
6:30-8:30pm | Toledo Artist Club

Drawing is about finding relationships and problem-solving, so learning to draw from observation is an essential element to enhancing creative thinking in all areas of life.

In this class we will introduce and practice the skills you need to become excellent at drawing. These include perceiving edges, positive and negative space, and using a viewfinder and a grid. Becoming better at drawing can eliminate some frustrations in painting as you become better able to plan compositions and analyze value within your paintings. If you have always wanted to learn how to draw, or feel you missed out on some basics, this class if for you. The premise of this class is that everyone can learn how to draw. Appropriate for mature high school students.

I love speaking to classes, small groups and congregations about my art and about how the Church has used art over the centuries. I also love giving tours of Christian art at local museums. I’ve presented in parishes, galleries, and college classrooms as well as at special events hosted by CIVA (Christians in the Visual Arts). Every presentation is accompanied by beautiful, inspirational images from the past and present.
