Find Out How We Are Keeping Our Studio Clean
quality art lessons in a clean studio
Let's face it, Covid-19 has been our reality for a couple of years now. At The Vivid Canvas, health and safety is just as important as the quality art lessons we provide. You can rest assured that we have been consistently doing all that we can to ensure a clean environment safe for all of our students.
Our Programs
Our students work in a program based on their age and skill level. While most students start in the Drawing/Pastel Basics Program, older and more advanced students are placed in a program after we meet and discuss their needs and wants.
Drawing/Pastel Basics Program
Learn the basics of drawing and establish the fine motor skills of hand-eye coordination. This program is designed for young artists who are just starting out, or for young artists who need help refining their drawing abilities. (Ages 6 and up)
Drawing Program
Our drawing program easily adapts to whatever level of skill the student currently has, beginner to experienced. In this program, we have the flexibility of using various mediums (graphite, pastel, charcoal, pen and ink, etc.), but all pieces begin with a strong drawing. (Ages 10 and up)
Watercolor Program
Learn the basics of watercolors. Watercolor pieces all start with a strong drawing; so either the Drawing/Pastel Basics Program or the Drawing Program should be completed before starting this program, unless discussed when enrolling.
Acrylics Program
Once drawing skills are established, and the student is ready for a new challenge, the Acrylics Program is the way to go. Starting off with a drawing is optional with acrylics, making the ability to draw imperative before beginning this program. In this program, we can start off as simple or complex as the student's needs are.
Oils Program
Before painting with oils, the student must have strong painting abilities with the acrylic medium. In the Oils Program, we teach the student various techniques of how to use and apply oil paint, as it is quite different than acrylics in the sense of application.
