This class is a crossover between the pastel painting atelier and the portrait classes. Pastels are a beautiful medium for portraits, and we’ll be discussing color mixing strategies and how to use our mark making to lead the eye around the face and enhance the illusion of depth. The minimum materials list for this class is an artist-grade set of soft pastels (portrait colors), and pastel paper. Contact the instructor if you have any questions (ed_higgins@icloud.com). Class runs in an open-studio style format. *No Class: 12/26, 1/2, 2/20.

A good follow up to the Ink for Astronauts class. We’ll study some traditional architectural rendering techniques from the book “Rendering in Pen and Ink” (Guptil, 60th edition), and occasionally add some watercolor washes. We’ll use speed sketching to warm up, and tackle any lingering perspective problems. This indoor class will be good prep for any urban sketching excursions you may plan featuring street scenes and buildings. The minimum materials list for this class is a sketchbook and pencils, erasers, a set of artist grade watercolors and brushes, drawing pens with waterproof ink and/or dip pens and bottled ink. Contact the instructor if you have any questions (ed_higgins@icloud.com). Class runs in an open-studio style format. *No Class: 12/26, 1/2, 2/20.

Yin yoga is a style of yoga where passive yoga posture(poses) are held for extended periods of time. Typically 3-5 min., sometimes longer. In these passive postures, muscle activity is minimized, with a focus on stretching connective tissues, such as fascia, ligaments and tendons. We will gently settle into postures, supported by yoga props, while deeply connecting to breath. These longer holds allow the muscles to lengthen passively and for physical releases under the skin to occur. This practice supports overall flexibility, circulation, and range of motion in the joints and ligaments. It also is a practice in mindfulness, as conscious breathing occurs, quieting the mind and supporting nervous system health. This class is for those new to yoga, as well as seasoned yogis looking for a deep stretch. Yoga blocks/bolster are encouraged if you have them, otherwise the teacher has props to use during class. *No Class: 10/13.

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. ** **
