Realism Art Studio

This after-school realism art studio class starts students, ages 11-15 years old, on a path of being able to create truly stunning and accurate artwork. Our enrolled students love art and are diligently looking to push their boundaries and learn skills to draw and paint anything, including from their imagination.

Realism Art Studio After-School Class

During the school year, we offer 3 groups of this class Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Each day is a separate group and are not interchangeable. Each group will learn the same material. For new students, simply decide which day is more convenient for your schedule and sign up below.

Wednesday Group

Meets 4:00 pm – 6:30 pm

Thursday Group

Meets 4:00 pm – 6:30 pm

Realism Art Studio class is at least one semester long. Join us Thursdays for this introduction to realism. All students will have a materials list they will be responsible for bringing their first day of class and all semester. Scroll to the bottom of this page for the required materials list.

Monthly Subscription Terms

Our monthly subscription provides access to weekly classes on your chosen day (Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday) for each calendar month. Payments are due on the first of the month, with no autopayment option. To simplify billing, we offer prorated fees for the first month only, if applicable, so everyone can align with our regular payment schedule.

This subscription model is not based on a per-class “ticket” system; rather, it provides consistent access to classes each month. Most months include four weekly sessions, though some months may have three or five, depending on the calendar. We recommend committing to a full year, as this helps balance out the occasional variation in the number of sessions per month and offers the best learning experience over time.

As you register you can pick the day you like (pending it’s not full), and that becomes your set day of the week for your classes. Due to space limitations, changing days is not permitted without prior approval from the studio. However, if you miss a class due to illness, you are allowed one makeup session per month, which must be scheduled and attended within 30 days of the absence, subject to availability.

Thank you for your commitment, and we look forward to supporting your child’s artistic growth through consistent participation in our program!

    Materials List

    • Pencils: Mono Tombow Pencils or Staedler Mars lumograph. pencil weights of 2B, B, HB, H, 2H – 4 each.
    • Paper Mate Tuff Stuff Eraser Stick or any similar stick eraser.
    • Mono Zero Eraser (the round one) – Tiny eraser that brings a lot of control to drawing. I also advise getting refills ahead of time.
    • Pencil Extenders – When pencils get short this extends their life.
    • Kneaded eraser
    • Sandpaper Pencil Sharpeners: Staedtler Mars Sandpaper Lead Pointer or equivalent.
    • Charcoal Pencils: General Charcoal or Wolff’s Carbon Pencils. Minimum of both: 2B, 4B AND General’s Charcoal White Pencil – Minimum of 3
      Please note that these are fragile pencils and dropping one can mean shattering the core rendering the pencil useless. It’s best to bind with a rubber band and carry in a soft case.
    • Canson Vidalon Vellum – 9″ x 12, 50 Sheets – used for drawing and painting.
    • Box Cutter. We use this to carve pencils exposing the lead and use the sandpaper pencil sharpeners to create a very sharp drawing edge for precision work.  I will have this at the studio, so students do not have to bring this with them.
    • An “art canvas 48 pencil case“. This search term will take you to what I recommend. They will protect the pencils very well.
