This workshop is going to focus on deepening your techniques in watercolor painting. If you know the basics of watercolor painting then you will enjoy this class, whether you are a beginner or experienced watercolor painter. Lana’s teaching style is very relaxed, yet informative. Prepare to have that “aha” moment!
Watercolor artist, Lana Cease, is known for her hyper-realistic paintings. “Painting in a realistic realm I find to be meditative and soothing work. To me, realism is much like math, in that both brings me a calm knowing that there’s only one true answer of what the outcome should look like.”
“I am drawn towards the brightness of light but also the shadows that it casts, as I find both are required to create a balance in a piece of art. I find myself occasionally leaning towards darker art, which I feel balances my view of the world as a reminder that not everything is perfect.”
How to Participate
February 22 and 23, 2023
10:00 am to 4:00 pm
$200 for both days, $120 for a single day . Lunch is included in this class.

“I get to make art and I like art. We don’t do this stuff in school. Well, we do simple projects like drawing by yourself. Really easy stuff. But art takes a lot more work than what we do in school.” – Lena, 7 years old


“I’d say Kids Media is fun, the people that work there are nice. At school, it’s different. We haven’t done a clay project [like we did in Kids Media], and we haven’t done something with foreground, middle ground, and background. I think I’m kind of a better artist now.” – Lane, 8 years old

Have fun learning basic, practical applications of an ancient art.
Grey: “My grade school taught the “Palmer Method” of cursive lettering. It was precise and children were graded on penmanship for decades. My handwriting deteriorated as soon as it was no longer graded. Currently, Penmanship is often not taught as technology & keyboards have dominated communications with print only.
After two classes in the 1980’s at a local college in Pennsylvania and a continuing adult education class, I enjoyed using calligraphy to make and address letters & cards and free lanced for a while. It was just fun and it was supposed to improve my own handwriting.
Calligraphy is an ancient art but is still heavily employed in advertising, graphics and design, and home décor.”
In an Introduction to Calligraphy students will learn the terms and techniques to create beautiful handwriting in this four week course. This workshop will require focus. Adults and determined teens welcome.

Karen’s comments about making jewelry:
“I started making jewelry after raising two children and while still pursuing a career as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist at a local hospital. I live in rural Missouri and prefer to participate in local art shows and craft fairs.”
“I love the texture and the look produced by nature and decided to specialize in rocks (we call them Gemstones because they’re pretty) and Sterling Silver. For me, the stones are the focus of each piece and the silver provides the highlights.”

“I get to make art and I like art. We don’t do this stuff in school. Well, we do simple projects like drawing by yourself. Really easy stuff. But art takes a lot more work than what we do in school.” – Lena, 7 years old


“I’d say Kids Media is fun, the people that work there are nice. At school, it’s different. We haven’t done a clay project [like we did in Kids Media], and we haven’t done something with foreground, middle ground, and background. I think I’m kind of a better artist now.” – Lane, 8 years old

Ready to get back into pastels – or do you want guidance on where to start?
Learn how to work in pastels with Jill Tichenor. This class will have exercises to emphasize the use of the pastels and techniques and is great for both beginners and those that would like more guidance in their current pastel painting process.
Jill will discuss materials, show examples of her own work , and have a planned exercise to get everyone familiar with the materials. Students need plenty of paper so they have the opportunity to produce more than one painting.
Students are encouraged to bring their own reference photos to work from.
Jill will inspire you with her love of pastels. She has been painting with them since she was a teenager. She has been a member of the Mid-America Pastel Society for the last 15 years.
