In painting, we begin with a clear understanding of values using a limited palette. Drawing, composition and shading are essential for all observational art. Drawing will start with the basics, master copies and cast drawing.

Testimonials
"After retiring to Whidbey Island, I discovered Whidbey Island Fine Arts Studio in Langley. Having always had an interest and some ability in art, I was happy to find that it had an affordable ongoing atelier/mentoring program. I spent two years working with Cary Jurriaans starting with honing basic drawing skills in and charcoal; and progressing to learning Old Master techniques in oils. I worked once/week with Cary and a handful of other island artists in a supportive, congenial environment of gentle guidance and encouragement one-on-one with Cary. I have found success in my art, personally and professionally which continues to enrich my life. This would never have happened without WIFAS and Cary's unique atelier program. I recommend it for anyone who wishes to learn or improve oil painting techniques". ~ Claudia Mitchell, Freeland, WA
