Home About Us
At Budding Artistes we teach Fine Art drawing to children, teens and adults.. Each student receives individualized instruction; therefore each artist can proceed at his/her own pace. Every student receives enough guidance to successfully create superior artwork, yet is allowed enough autonomy to blossom creatively. Self-confidence and a sense of pride in their work are attributes that inevitably will be gained.
In our Fine Art drawing and painting classes, we start by establishing the skill level of each student based on their current abilities and knowledge. At Budding Artistes we show the students how to see things in their simplest forms, utilizing basic-shape drawings, which teach the students to draw realistically using simple shapes and lines. At this point we introduce light, creating highlights and shadows with tones to build a three-dimensional drawing.
The students then incorporate color into their drawings, using chalk pastels. Once these skills are well-developed, they begin painting, starting with acrylics, then moving into watercolor and eventually oil paints.
Home Our Philosophy
We feel encouragement is the nourishment of life. While providing a comfortable and supportive environment, we strive to enrich the lives of all of our students. Under such caring conditions, learning is more a therapeutic outlet and less a struggle.
Anyone who desires to learn drawing and painting can do so, regardless of innate talent. At Budding Artistes we simplify the process so that anyone can achieve great levels of artistic success. Once the basics of drawing, color theory, and spacial awareness are mastered, the mind is the only limit. Great artists, from Michelangelo to Cézanne, mastered the basics, enabling them to create their own visual language. Budding Artistes is the perfect place to embark upon that special journey.
