Art Classes

Our fine arts program frees the spirit by offering beginners and experts alike the process and techniques for creating expressive works of art.

With a dedicated building as an art studio, activities include drawing, watercolor, acrylic painting, vision, theory, composition, design, color, dynamic symmetry and poetic process. Bob Ewing, Sunrise Ranch’s Artist-in-Residence, offers art classes Mondays and Thursdays from 7–9:30 p.m. The maximum number of students per class is 12. Reserve your spot by calling Guest Services at (970) 679-4200 or e-mail us at reservations@sunriseranch.org. Classes are offered on a donation basis.

History of the Art Studio

Once a storage facility for grain, this small building was transformed a few years ago into a fine arts facility. The studio opened for classes in May 2012. Art instructor Bob Ewing, along with Dave Holman (1944-2014), brought equipment and supplies to complete the space.

 
The Art Studio now provides an intimate, relaxed setting for artists of all levels to work on their painting and drawing. Bob Ewing teaches predominantly acrylic and watercolor, but other painting modalities are available as well. We welcome your presence at any of these evening times.

If teaching art in a spiritual setting appeals to you and you would like to partner with us to offer more classes, please contact Bob Ewing at (970) 443-4402 or bewing@emnet.org. Bob can also assist visual artists coming to Sunrise Ranch for a personal retreat.
