Learn How to Draw a Specific Body Part

Our student's work

Interested in painting but feeling overwhelmed by how much there is to learn? 

Why not start by learning how to draw a specific body part, like an eye? 

Even though it’s just one body part, drawing a realistic eye takes a lot of skill. From capturing the lighting in the pupil and adding the wrinkles to mastering brush techniques for eyelashes and eyebrows — after just a few lessons, you’ll be amazed at how much you’ve learned.  These skills, of course, can then be applied to your overall technique in painting.

Already know the basics but struggling with painting a specific body part?

Even if you have experience or are a professional, you may still find some body parts challenging to draw, whether it’s an eye, lips, nose, hands, or feet.

Our instructors can teach you the advanced skills needed to draw these parts step by step.

Why Painting Lessons are Good For Seniors?

Painting lessons can be incredibly beneficial for seniors, providing a range of physical, mental, and emotional advantages. 

Cognitive Stimulation

Painting engages the brain in complex activities that involve problem-solving, planning, and critical thinking. This helps to keep the mind sharp and can potentially delay the onset of cognitive decline and conditions such as dementia.

Emotional Expression

Art allows seniors to express their emotions and feelings in a creative and non-verbal way. It can be a powerful outlet for emotions, reducing stress and anxiety, and promoting a deep sense of calm, peace, fulfillment, and profound mental relaxation.

Social Interaction

Taking painting lessons in a group setting encourages socialization and can help combat feelings of loneliness and isolation. Building new friendships and engaging with others can significantly improve mental health and overall well-being.

Enhanced Quality of Life

Engaging in a fulfilling and enjoyable activity like painting can improve overall quality of life. It provides a sense of purpose, encourages lifelong learning, and can be a meaningful way to spend time, promoting overall happiness and life satisfaction.

Motor Skills Improvement

The act of painting, which involves precise hand movements, helps maintain and improve fine motor skills. This can be particularly beneficial for seniors as it enhances dexterity, coordination, and overall hand-eye coordination.

Boosting Confidence

Learning a new skill and creating artwork can provide a sense of accomplishment and pride. Completing a painting project, regardless of the level of expertise, can boost self-esteem and confidence, contributing to a positive self-image.
