    With time and practice, students will develop a better eye for creating pictures from their imagination.  They will be able to see errors in their drawings of objects.  Students will learn how to set up a blank sheet of paper to create their idea for a drawing/painting that is accurate in proportions and space. 

    Students need have to have a "T" square and two triangles.  One is a 30 -60- 90 and the other one is a 45-45-90.  The larger the better.  The T square should be at least 24 inches in length.

    Adults age 18 and up

    Beginners welcome

    I am a retired art teacher from California where I taught art at a high school for 30 years. I studied commercial art at "Art Center" in LA before transferring to Calif. State University at Long Beach, California where I received my BA in art. Then I transferred to Chico State University where I got my teaching degree. I also taught a basic drawing class at the local Junior college "College of the Sequoias" at the same time that I was teaching in the high school, for several years.

    We'll have a picturesque "getaway," painting this Ocean View! We're going to create this using a palette knife and brushes, or you can choose just brushes or just the palette knife. We'll definitely feel a vacation vibe while painting, so bring a friend or family member or come and make new friends!

Meet the Teachers



Angel Carpenter

Hi! My name is Angel Carpenter, and my focus is sharing the joy of art with the community. I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Southern Oregon State College (painting and drawing), but my hope is to share fun art, not fine art! My step-by-step lessons are geared toward teaching beginners while also allowing intermediate and advanced artists to join in and take the creative process to whatever level they like, allowing all to enjoy timeout for art with a completed piece to take home.


Kim Randleas

Kim Randleas was born in 1975 in Eastern Oregon. Not being one to shout, her paintings are a soft-spoken tribute to a fleeting moment; a quick glance, an exceptionally interesting cloud formation, or an old house not long for this world. The wide-open spaces, moments of the past, and the nearby Native American tribal culture are common subjects depicted in her paintings.  Kim continues to reside in her home town, Canyon City, Oregon enjoying the beauty and solitude of her home nestled at the base of Canyon Mountain.
