Old eyeshadow and old makeup, new purpose. This is a course for adults who love color and aren't afraid to break the rules of what art materials are "supposed" to be. You'll transform forgotten palettes into vibrant, textured canvas paintings — and give new life to something you already own. (We will use pastels for the colors you may not have and base sketch).

Materials provided by The Drawing Studio. Please bring any old eyeshadow or makeup that you want to use for your project. 

Each stand-alone session is for independent study, with no instruction, for ages 18+. Bring your own supplies. There are easels, chairs, horses and stools available for you to borrow.
