Art Workshops & Classes
Illustrate a Fall Leaf in Colored Pencils
Celebrate Halloween—and the golden colors of fall—at Hoyt Arboretum! In this colorful nature-inspired workshop, we’ll explore the many shades of orange found in autumn leaves using colored pencils. Learn simple techniques for layering, blending, shading, and building rich color. Beginners welcome!
Color Theory for Creative Practice
Color can completely change the mood, meaning, and feeling of a piece of art. In this full-day workshop, you’ll learn approachable, practical color theory tools you can bring into your own creative practice.
Together, we’ll explore the color wheel, warm and cool colors, value, tint, shade, color harmonies, and color mixing. You’ll leave with hand-painted color studies for future reference and a clearer sense of how to choose and use color with confidence.
Open to all skill levels and useful for artists working in any medium.
Wish you had more space in your life to make art?
Feeling creative… but not totally sure where to start?
You’re not alone. So many adults crave a creative practice — they just need the right guidance, structure, and invitation.
I teach drawing, watercolor, and calligraphy to adults through in-person workshops, my online learning hub, and thoughtfully designed worksheets you can use at your own pace. Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or returning after a long break, my classes are designed to help you build skills and confidence — without losing the joy.

“ Thank you for making art simple and accessible.”
“ Molly’s teaching techniques were the best I’ve ever experienced.”
Imagine a creative practice that fits your life.
I designed my online membership to take the guesswork and isolation out of learning drawing, watercolor, and illustration.
When you join my membership community, you gain a community of unfurling artists re-igniting their creativity.
