    Suha is excited to be teaching Fundamentals in Colored Pencils, at the Compass Art Center in Kensington, MD. This class is an explorative journey that delves into the fine art medium of colored pencils. Over the course of six weeks, participants will be hands-on learning the fundamentals of drawing and layering with colored pencils to create realistic artwork. This class offers guided projects that focus on capturing diverse textures and forms, including rendering the reflective quality of shiny objects and the softness of animal fur. Classes start March 4th.

    Event - The Collective Alexandria 

    Areej also had the pleasure, honor and opportunity to be part of the sip and paint event organized by The Collective staff at Alexandria.

    It was a very nice opportunity to be part of such a dynamic event. A lot of talk about art and artists, painting and networking. It is always pleasure and so important to engage with our community members to discuss different topics of interest and how art could play a big role in developing not only skills but also to promote humanity and kindness.

    Big thanks to @collectivedmv their lovely staff and their nice professional lead.

    While many participants enjoyed painting, she also was given the space to display her artwork at the event and the time to talk about her art passion and journey.
