These figure and portrait paintings marry the fluid, luminous qualities of watercolor with the dynamic gestures of the human figure. Working with watercolor’s spontaneity and ability to reflect light, these artists play with value and color to create uniquely expressive reflections of the human form.

Small group shows are small groups (3-10 CCAE artists) who would like to display their work together under a specific shared vision. It is a chance for students to connect with other artists, display their own work, and participate in a larger artist community at CCAE. Read the Proposal Submission Guidelines or fill out the Proposal Submission Form.
Many of the visual arts classes require the purchase of additional art supplies. The supply lists can be found in the section description for each class.
Once you register for a class, the supply list will be accessible through your online account under Academics > Current Classes > Section description.
Since 1994, Cambridge Center for Adult Education’s Studio School offers a group of coordinated intensive classes that focus on perceptual drawing and oil painting. Students develop skills that enable them to record and interpret, analyze and express. Our Studio School classes include painting and drawing from life, stressing the importance of spatial relationships and careful observation. Studio School instructors include Jeremy Durling and Brett Gamache.
