Children's Classes
Children's classes are designed for children ages 5 & up and lessons are tailored to the level of the children who attend.
In this class kids will learn about the Elements of Art, various artists, and art history! All supplies are provided. The skills you will be learning are foundational & they are designed to build on each other, so there's some real value to coming week after week. Join the fun!
Please note: Karen is also an Ocean Grove homeschool teaching vendor!
A word from Karen:
"I've been teaching classical art for over 25 years, and I still love every minute. In my cozy studio, children learn to draw and paint step by step, building real skills at their own pace. I keep classes small — just six children at a time — so everyone gets one-on-one attention and plenty of time to create. It makes it fun for all of us."

Adult Classes
Watercolor for Adults
2 hour studio session Wednesdays 1:15-3:15pm
$384 /12 weeks
*Please note: no classes October 7, November 25, December 22 through December.
Have you ever thought you'd like to try drawing or watercolor painting but were too intimidated? Or thought you didn't have time because life got too busy? I would love to help you discover your own joy in creating your own works in a relaxed, welcoming cozy space. What looks like unpredictability is actually the medium doing exactly what it's meant to do. My job as a teacher is to show you how to work with it rather than against it.

Private Watercolor Jumpstart Class Private 2 hour studio session. $175
I have been painting in watercolor for over 25 years, and I still find it the most responsive, luminous, and surprising medium I know. What looks like unpredictability is actually the medium doing exactly what it's meant to do. My job as a teacher is to show you how to work with it rather than against it. Private sessions in my Morgan Hill studio are tailored entirely to you — your pace, your goals, your experience level. There are no other students, no fixed curriculum, and no such thing as a wrong question. Just two people, good light, and everything you need to make a painting of which you are proud.
This makes a good gift for those who have been wanting to try watercolor, but haven't!
