About this Event

About this class:

This class is designed for all skill levels, from beginners looking to explore a new medium to experienced artists wanting to refine their mixed-media techniques. In this workshop, we will focus on bringing a subject to life—whether you choose our featured forest mushroom or an object of your own choice. You will practice:

Watercolor Foundations: Master light washes to establish base colors and soft gradients.

Detailed Shading: Using colored pencils to layer rich tones, add intricate textures, and define shadows.

Building Volume: Learning how to observe light and shadow to make your 2D drawings look 3D and realistic.


Cancellation Policy:

Changes and cancellations… We know life happens, so we try our best to be flexible while being fair to our instructors who purchase supplies and prepare for each class. Full refunds or credits are available for cancellations made at least 5 days prior to the class. If you need to cancel after 5 days but at least 48 hours in advance, we can offer you a credit for a future class. We cannot offer any refunds or credits for cancellations within 48 hours of the scheduled class.


About your instructor:Heather Wenz is a local artist and educator with a passion for making creativity both fun and healing. She has taught in a wide variety of settings — from after-school art programs in Denver Public Schools to playful Paint Nights — and even while teaching English in China, she found ways to let her students express themselves through art when words weren’t enough. Her own artwork often features bright, vibrant, and geometric abstract paintings in acrylics. Heather has a true knack for helping people tap into their imagination and leave with something beautiful, personal, and unique.
