The main focus of the teaching programs is learning to see better, the basis for good realistic drawing and painting.


Students work on their own project at their own speed. Drafting tables are separated to promote better focus. The choice of media includes watercolors, pencil, colored pencils, pastels, oil pastels, pen and ink and acrylics. A large photo reference file is available with everything from animals, landscapes, people to cartoons. Reference material from home is encouraged. Students should draw and paint what is of interest to them. From here, guidance towards better drawing and color theory, is a more enjoyable adventure.


Karen Jerome Skillins has been in her Needham, studio for over twenty two years. She is the illustrator of numerous children’s books, winner of major art awards and an exhibitor in national and international exhibitions. Teaching is also a passion and the studio has been a place for creative minds to expand for over twelve years.


The art programs are for ages 9 to 16. The class size is between five and eight students. In good weather, bikes can be locked to the railing out front.
