Have you ever wanted to make a comic book? This course is for the child who’s always wanted to be Stan Lee or Jack Kirby. Learn the ins and outs on how to write, pencil, ink and letter a comic book. Learn from Sedona-based comic book artist/cartoonist Jan Marc “The Janimal” Quisumbing, former art director with New York City based comic book publisher Pronto Comics and current president of the Northern Arizona Cartoonist Association and from DC and Marvel Comics veteran Dave Beaty whose credits include Justice League, Batman Incorporated, Wonder Woman and X-Men.

The end goal will be for students aged 12 – 15 to produce a fully drawn page of sequential art. All Supplies provided

Tuesdays and Thursdays, 1 – 4 p.m. All Materials Included!

Color, Light, Shadow, Translucency – These are the ingredients that we will work with to create a beautiful painting for you to take home. Our subject will be flowers and using the glazing technique we will apply thin layer upon layer of oil paint to achieve the depth and translucency associated with all things in nature.

Students will be taught how to choose a composition, transfer it to the canvas and then begin the process of laying in color. This class will be taught in four sessions to allow for critical drying time between layers. We will focus on light and shadow, paying attention to brushwork and edges as we build up the design. Paintings will be done on a gallery wrap canvas and students will be given a choice of images to work from.

Open to all levels. With materials included all barriers have been removed so that you can explore the fun of painting! All you bring is yourself and clothing that you could get some paint on!

Includes the first bag of clay.  Additional bags of clay may be purchased during class for $30 per bag which includes glazing & firing fees.  Enrolled students may also participate in one open studio session per week.

*Note that the Monday class is reserved for experienced ceramicists! (Beginners are welcome in Dennis Ott’s Tuesday or Wednesday classes.)
