What people are saying:
"The pastel painting class has opened a form of artistic expression I didn't know I had in me.. I inherited my dad's Rembrandt pastel paints in a lovely wooden two-drawer box after he passed and wanted to put them to use. I had no training in this artistic process but with the guidance of our teacher, Sarah Orre, and the helpful veteran classmates I have learned to love this painting technique...and have learned a lot! As I work on my art I always have my dad right there with me in my heart and mind as I handle his art materials and take them forward into my next painting. Maybe I've gone overboard, but I set up a studio in our sun room with a Lyre easel, a work surface and an organizing area for my art supplies and projects.. AND the Santa Cruz Mountain Art Center is less than a mile from where I live in Ben Lomond. I feel so lucky to have made this discovery at 75 years of age...it's never too late." --Sue
"Sarah is a great teacher who enables her students to discover and develop their individual styles. The studio is comfortable and I love the camaraderie fostered there." --Kate
"Love being a part of this group. Love learning pastels. Really look forward to each and every class.. Thanks to Sarah for the wonderful experience." --Julie

What people are saying:
"Such a fun time in an intimate gallery setting with the inspiration of other local artists all around us displaying their unique creativities… while we painted ocean and cliffs and sand under the encouraging eye of Sarah! I could just about hear the waves and feel the spray on my sun soaked face as we painted!!" --Megan
"Sarah has created such an inspiring learning space that is equally fun, challenging, and relaxing. I highly recommend her watercolor class (or any class she teaches!) and I am looking forward to joining her next course."--Simone
