A brief peer critique will end each session.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;We encourage participants to pre-register online, but drop-ins are welcome.&amp;nbsp; All sessions are "pay what you can" and&amp;nbsp; any donations are kindly accepted.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Finding your digital style with ProCreate (15 Sep 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.saratoga-arts.org/resources/Pictures/Procreate.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Finding your digital style with ProCreate&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;taught by Jean Ellen Sotansky&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="139" data-end="294"&gt;Curious about digital art? This fun, four-week class is a great way to get started with Procreate or continue to build your skills.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="296" data-end="570"&gt;Students will start off by getting comfortable with the app, learning the tools, brushes, layers, and all the basics needed to start creating. As you progress, you’ll explore more advanced features like selections, transformations, texts and effects that help bring your artwork to life.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="572" data-end="844"&gt;In the second half of the class, you’ll work on your own project (like an illustration, logo, or poster) and experiment with different styles and brushes to find what you like. The class will wrap up by polishing your work and learning how to export it for sharing or print.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="846" data-end="935"&gt;By the end, you’ll have a finished piece and the confidence to keep creating on your own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="937" data-end="959"&gt;&lt;strong data-start="937" data-end="959"&gt;What you’ll learn:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul data-start="960" data-end="1180"&gt;
  &lt;li data-section-id="1n4gvds" data-start="960" data-end="1007"&gt;How to navigate Procreate and use its tools&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li data-section-id="1qar7bh" data-start="1054" data-end="1088"&gt;Layers, masks, and fun effects&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li data-section-id="1f4ycti" data-start="1089" data-end="1127"&gt;How to plan and complete a project&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li data-section-id="rinixl" data-start="1128" data-end="1180"&gt;How to export your work for digital use or print&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p data-start="1182" data-end="1257"&gt;Anyone interested in digital art—perfect for beginners!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(32, 33, 36); font-family: Ubuntu;"&gt;Students will be required to bring their iPads with the ProCreate app and an Apple Pencil to every class.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>The Power of a Limited Palette: Acrylic Markers (19 Sep 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent; margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.saratoga-arts.org/resources/Pictures/The%20Power%20of%20a%20Limitied%20Pallet%20Demo%20Piece.png" alt="" title="" border="0" width="184" height="232"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;taught by Bennett Kimble-Lee&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;Color can be a daunting thing, there’s always the question of if you’re using to much or too little. By limiting your color pallet to 3-5 base colors, your work looks more cohesive and has more harmony.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;Students are encouraged to bring their own ideas for an artwork to class. This class is meant for beginners. We will go over basic color theory, what colors to choose, and how they work well together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;1 Session Class-Saturday, September 19, 2026, 10:00 AM-1:00 PM&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Finding your digital style with ProCreate (22 Sep 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.saratoga-arts.org/resources/Pictures/Procreate.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Finding your digital style with ProCreate&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;taught by Jean Ellen Sotansky&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="139" data-end="294"&gt;Curious about digital art? This fun, four-week class is a great way to get started with Procreate or continue to build your skills.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="296" data-end="570"&gt;Students will start off by getting comfortable with the app, learning the tools, brushes, layers, and all the basics needed to start creating. As you progress, you’ll explore more advanced features like selections, transformations, texts and effects that help bring your artwork to life.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="572" data-end="844"&gt;In the second half of the class, you’ll work on your own project (like an illustration, logo, or poster) and experiment with different styles and brushes to find what you like. The class will wrap up by polishing your work and learning how to export it for sharing or print.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="846" data-end="935"&gt;By the end, you’ll have a finished piece and the confidence to keep creating on your own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="937" data-end="959"&gt;&lt;strong data-start="937" data-end="959"&gt;What you’ll learn:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="1182" data-end="1257"&gt;Anyone interested in digital art—perfect for beginners!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(32, 33, 36); font-family: Ubuntu;"&gt;Students will be required to bring their iPads with the ProCreate app and an Apple Pencil to every class.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Finding your digital style with ProCreate&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;taught by Jean Ellen Sotansky&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="139" data-end="294"&gt;Curious about digital art? This fun, four-week class is a great way to get started with Procreate or continue to build your skills.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="296" data-end="570"&gt;Students will start off by getting comfortable with the app, learning the tools, brushes, layers, and all the basics needed to start creating. As you progress, you’ll explore more advanced features like selections, transformations, texts and effects that help bring your artwork to life.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="572" data-end="844"&gt;In the second half of the class, you’ll work on your own project (like an illustration, logo, or poster) and experiment with different styles and brushes to find what you like. The class will wrap up by polishing your work and learning how to export it for sharing or print.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="846" data-end="935"&gt;By the end, you’ll have a finished piece and the confidence to keep creating on your own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="937" data-end="959"&gt;&lt;strong data-start="937" data-end="959"&gt;What you’ll learn:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

We will be going over making seamless repeating patterns, tessellations, and how we can combine the two. Students are welcome to bring their own supplies, acrylic markers and colored pencils will be provided.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Topics we’ll touch on:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>The Power of a Limited Palette: Colored Pencils (21 Nov 2026)</title>

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;taught by Bennett Kimble-Lee&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;Color can be a daunting thing, there’s always the question of if you’re using to much or too little. By limiting your color pallet to 3-5 base colors, your work looks more cohesive and has more harmony.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;Students are encouraged to bring their own ideas for an artwork to class. This class is meant for beginners. We will go over basic color theory, what colors to choose, and how they work well together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;1 Session Class-Saturday, November 21, 2026, 1:00 PM-4:00 PM&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
