Appropriate for beginning or advanced students, teen (14+) or adult. Regardless of age, a high level of personal instruction is given to understand basic art principals and techniques and eventually to develop technical mastery.

+ ART SUPPLIES

BUY YOUR OWN ART SUPPLIES: All NEW STUDENTS should consult with the instructor prior to buying any supplies from the lists below. You will not need any supplies for your first class.

SHOP IN PERSON- If buying supplies locally, we recommend going to PLAZA ART SUPPLIES in Towson. Supply Kits are usually ready at the front desk. Just ask for Brandon's DRAWING KIT or PAINTING KIT (click on either to see list). If kits arten't available, ask for Charles or Cindy to help gather items.

BUY SUPPLIES ONLINE- We have partnered with Dick Blick to make buying art supplies easy. Choose the list you want to buy from below:

USE STUDIO SUPPLIES: Students also have the option of using Studio Supplies by paying a separate $15 MATERIAL FEE (per 4 classes). This entitles you to use the instructor's supplies that include most drawing and painting items except for canvas, painting panels, and specialty drawing papers. Please do not include material fee in your tuition payment. Cash is preferred, but checks may also be made out to Brandon Flye.

+ STUDIO POLICIES

MAKE UPS From our years of teaching classes, we have observed that students perform the best and are most successful in a consistent learning environment. For you to get the most out of your experience, we strongly encourage consistent attendance to your regularly scheduled class(es).

1) All classes are "continuous" (no need to re-enroll). This simply means that you register only once. Once you enroll with a payment of $150, you are entitled to any 4 of Brandon's Adult Classes (excluding Portfolio Prep Classes). You must take all four of these classes within 2 months of the enrollment date (date of payment). If you do not take all 4 classes within 2 months of enrollment, remaining classes are forfeited.

2) There will be no make-up session if written notification via email is not provided prior to absence.

3) Absences cannot be credited to the next enrollment period. All 4 classes must be taken within 2 months of enrollment and payment of tuition.

4) Eligible make-ups are valid while you are enrolled. All unused make-ups expire when you withdraw and are not carried over upon re-enrollment.

5) Rescheduled/make up classes cannot be replaced. We do not reschedule make up classes.

ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE 1) Classes will begin and end promptly at the scheduled times. Please be punctual. If attendance is low, the instructor may wait 15-20 minutes, but if you do not show up by then, class may be cancelled without notice.

CODED ACCESS ENTRY For the safety of all students, Zoll Studio has installed entrance doors with coded access. You will be given the access code when you enroll. You are responsible for knowing this code to enter and may not give this code to anyone else.

DISCIPLINE Any student found to be disruptive to the program or teachers may be dismissed from the session without refund.

PAYMENTS AND FEES 1) If tuition is not received PRIOR to the start of class, the student’s place cannot be guaranteed. Sessions are paid for by the the enrollment period, not by the day.
