$50

Oil Painting: Expressive Brushwork

$95

with Ed Higgins, Merrymeeting Community & Adult Education

Calendar Feb 24, 2027 at 1 pm, runs for 5 weeks

Oils are a very forgiving medium, great for learning because it’s easy to revise, repaint, wipe out and start over. Keeping an oil painting mobile and active throughout the process means that at any moment or any stage, your painting can surprise you and move you forward in a new direction. Sometimes one brushstroke allows you to see new possibilities. Ed has helped many artists power through their fear of starting, and gain confidence as oil painters. If you’ve never painted in oils before, don’t be afraid, contact Ed directly with any questions ed_higgins@icloud.com. *This class will focus on Expressive Brushwork.

Chiron and the Inner Child

$25

with Rob Gutro, Noble Adult & Community Education

Calendar Feb 24, 2027 at 6 pm

”I don’t think anyone can grow unless he’s loved exactly as he is now, appreciated for what he is rather than what he will be.” - Mr. Rogers

From an astrological perspective, Chiron is a small but meaningful asteroid that may describe qualities of one's 'inner child' archetype. Nurturing the archetypal quality of our own younger self might be helpful for self-care and healing. In this class we will unpack the mythology of Chiron and its placement by house, sign, and degree.

There are no prerequisites for the class. Participants have the option to email their birth information (date, place, time) to the instructor prior to the start of the class (rob@innercenterastrology.com) and he will provide a copy of your birth chart. It would be optimal to have your exact birth time available (documented on your birth certificate) but is not necessary. 

Animal Studies: Birds

Back by popular demand! This winter we’ll be taking a deep dive into studying animals, particularly studying our feathered friends, birds. To really learn about any subject, you have to draw it. We’ll begin every class with speed sketching warm up drills, followed by working from reference images and videos that will focus us on constructive anatomy and capturing the moods, aspects, and expressions of our subjects. You may work in any media you prefer. There is no set materials list, but a hardbound sketchbook or mixed media journal is recommended for your studies. Contact Ed Higgins directly with any questions ed_higgins@icloud.com.
