If you’re not satisfied with adult coloring books, and want to really explore colored pencils as a fine art medium, learn colored pencils with a recovering production artist. We’ll begin with basic layering techniques and soon you’ll be painting with colored pencils instead of just coloring. It’s an easy and powerful way to gain understanding of color theory and color mixing. Whether you’re completely new to colored pencils or looking to learn more about this versatile medium, this class is for you! Students of any experience level are welcome, but students who have never had any class instruction with Ed should contact him directly with any questions at ed_higgins@icloud.com. *No Class: 11/27.

Parents:  It is vital that your student arrive on time for class.  Due to late arrivals, students have fallen short of their 30 hours of class time and must make up the time.  Because the State of Maine requires 30 hours of class time, if your student arrives late, they will be turned away, and a charge will apply (below) for the class to be made up.  It is very important that your student arrives on time.  Unfortunately, we cannot make any exceptions.  Thank you for your understanding.

**Please Note: A make-up fee applies to all missed classes and driving sessions. ** **

Class and Driving Makeup Fees:

Classroom: $40/hr

Driving: $80/hr

Please bring a birth certificate or passport to the first class and a pen to every class. Parents/Guardians must attend the last 45 minutes of the first class and participate in a ride-along with their child, which the instructor and the parent will schedule.
