Classes on Offer, Gallery Viewing by Appointment

Dear Joey,

Winter is a time on Cape Ann where we tend to hibernate and wait for warmer weather, but it helps to keep busy to pass those short days and long nights without going stir crazy. Please consider taking a class or dropping by to view some paintings.

Drawing and Painting Classes

Close-up of Brush FerrulesWinter is a great time to learn a new skill you want to use in the warmer months. Whether you’ve always wanted to be able to join those easel jockeys out at Halibut Point on warm summer evenings, or make sketches of places you visit on vacation, I can help you develop the skills. I hold a drawing class on Tuesday nights from 6 to 8 p.m., and a painting class (any medium, including pastels) on Saturday mornings from 10 to noon.

If you’re interested, please contact me via email to sign up. Classes are $25 each session or 10 sessions for $180. More information can be found at ankenystudio.com.

Gallery Viewings by Appointment

Church SunsetAlthough I don’t hold regular gallery hours during the deep winter months (it’s commonly known that most retail is pretty dead between New Years and Tax Day) I’m still available to open the gallery for private viewings by appointment. If you would like to stop by and say hello, or have a particular painting you would like to see, please give me a call at 978-281-2803, or you can drop me an email at kurt@ankenystudio.com.
