Art Instruction DVDs | Art Instruction Books | Schedule Watercolor, Charcoal, Drawing & Acrylic Painting Classes with E.J. Gold GRASS VALLEY, CALIFORNIA Master Artist E.J. Gold is offering watercolor, drawing, charcoal and acrylic painting classes in Grass Valley, California, at Ben Franklin Crafts. The one and a half or two-hour classes are open to all skill levels and are small, allowing for much personal attention and instruction. This just in, from Neville Throckmorton, CEO of FireCode, Inc., Sacramento, CA: "Hi, I wanted you guys to know how excited I am about the ... drawing workshop. I had a great breakthrough after using E.J.'s Draw Good Now workbook for only a few days. I suddenly was able to see the outline of an image in the doodling and the figure came to life as I gave it volume by creating the various planes with shading as we were shown. I've never been able to draw at all. Last night I discovered how similar drawing is to sculpting as I "carved into" the paper with my pencil, creating a three dimensional relief. This is one of the most powerful exercises I've seen. Thanks E.J.!" Folks from all over are coming in for a week or two of art classes with Mr. Gold. It was "an incredible, energy-charged, fun adventure," said Tom Schoeller of Nelson, British Columbia, of his 17 day visit. "This was a fantastic opportunity to work under unique conditions created for us by E.J. Would not have missed it for anything." E.J. Gold's Watercolor Class shows off its work. Classes are scheduled at Ben Franklin Crafts, 598 Sutton Way, Grass Valley. Tuition is $15 per class plus materials, with Ben Franklin throwing in a 10% off coupon on the supplies. Pre-registration is advisable. The class will be given a tour to help select supplies. Call Ben Franklin Crafts directly to register at 530-273-1348.
