Work on your drawing and painting skills during our weekend classes! You will have access to the Florence Academy studios and receive professional instruction on exercises inspired by our academic program. We will provide all of the drawing and oil painting materials, so you do not need to bring anything with you. You are welcome to bring your own materials if you wish.
All levels of experience are welcome! Beginners and seasoned artists all have things to learn and we will adjust the teaching and feedback we give to each student. No minimum education required.
