I am making a commitment to post more on EAC studio blog so as to initiate some discussion related to art and creativity. Over the last couple months, though I have not been posting much, I have done a lot of thinking about the nature of what we do, art and everything around it. I have to stress that I am very thankful for the art community and support we have at EAC. I come to a new understanding as to why community is so important to artists, or musicians or any creative minds. It keeps us moving and feel connected! So let me give a big THANK YOU here to all of you who came to paint and draw at EAC, who read this blog, who came for the model sessions or book club or simply come enjoy the shows we put up. Thank you, Thank you!

New! Academic drawing and oil painting classes taught by Olga Kiehn
– wanted to learn how to draw and don’t know where to start
– always wanted to learn to draw, but lack the confidence in their abilities – want to develop their skills which are necessary to learn before they express their thoughts and ideas on paper or canvas.
I approach each student individually. I offer painting , drawing or Old Masters copy studies based on students interest and skills. It is not unusual that small group is broken into sections where students work on assignments of varying complexity.
No matter whether you want to become a professional or improve on your skills, you will learn the fundamental techniques and will see the tremendous improvement.
