Great session. Super cool teacher.

I thought it was a great experience! My biggest takeaway was how it is OKAY to slow down as I learned about myself that I rush art. I also learned some new techniques while using my pencil. I will be attending again.

Delightful way to spend a Saturday morning! The instructor, Lenny, was very encouraging and did an excellent job focusing on skills a beginner could take away and work with.

ARTISTS
Lenny Lane
With 35 years of experience as a printmaker and graphic designer, I bring strong skills, problem-solving, and a passion for drawing the natural world. I've exhibited in Europe and Canada, including the Calgary Stampede (2017).

My approach is simple: break subjects into basic shapes to understand the overall composition. From there, we refine perspective, scale, and light using different pencil grades and drawing pens. I'll help you understand this process and let you feel more confident about drawing and finding your own style.

Lenny Lane is available for private bookings

Available most weekends 9am - 3pm and some weekday evenings by arrangement 7pm - 9pm. Open for group events (team building, kids, special occassions).

?Dumy? is a deep reflection on life and destiny, our fears, worries, and the constant search for answers. It is about the past we cannot fully let go of and the future we are sometimes afraid of. At the same time, the bright colours remind us that not everything unknown is dark ? sometimes something vivid and beautiful is waiting for us beyond our fears &10024The work is created in the traditional Ukrainian folk art style of Petrykivka painting using a plant stem( rohozynka) and a brush ma

I always keep an eye out for photo opportunities to consider for paintings. Fortunately, many of the paintings I have made are from photos taken on or near our home in Baltimore County. I planted these bee balm flowers in early spring, and by late summer, they were attracting lots of bees, so I took several photos. I've been teaching art for 30 years, and it's hard to find time away from the classroom to do my own work. I finally found the time during this year's spring break to knock out two pa

Title or Location: Devi
Inspired and deeply moved by the divine presence of the Indian Goddess Devi, this pencil sketch was brought to life as a heartfelt expression of devotion, strength, and spiritual beauty. Through every stroke and detail, the intention was to capture the serene aura, grace, and pure bliss that Devi embodies. This artwork reflects not only her powerful energy and feminine divinity, but also the sense of peace, inspiration, and inner connection she awakens within the soul.

Title or Location: Purdy
This little painting is a commission for a ladies 80th Birthday, their Cocker Spaniel is really quite elderly, and what a soulful expression she has. Many of my paintings are humorous showing the sly, guilty or knowing looks we receive from our animals, but this serious expression felt right in this case. It has acrylic underpainting, with water based oils on top. 8 x 8in on cotton canvas.
