I enjoyed the small group. The instructor was very friendly. I was disappointed that she didn't teach us about perspective. I've always wanted a class that teaches how to apply perspective.

ARTISTS
Jia Aloe
Hello! I'm Jia (artist name: CJ Aloe), a local traditional and digital artist, whose usual subjects consist of people, nature, flowers, clouds, and whatever else I feel like drawing. Inspiration hits from all over. Every time I'm compelled to create art, it's because I think it would be cool to make the ideas in my head turn into reality. Another motivation of mine is I desire to improve my artistic abilities and see such improvement come to fruition. As a new host, I aim to help aspiring artists do the same, too. Let's learn and improve together!

Jia Aloe is available for private bookings

Available mostly on Saturdays from 10am until 5pm.
Private tutoring and providing of feedback on drawings.

Title or Location: 42
42 was one of the cattle we raised, and for some reason he had it out for my dad. He?d chase him, try to gore him, and basically made it his life?s mission to terrorize him. Needless to say, when it came time to pick which one went to the butcher first, 42 didn?t have to worry about living out his golden years.
