Instructor: Joseph Rogine
These classes are designed for both beginning to advanced students who want to sharpen their skills in drawing. I have taught students for over 25 years who have never picked up a pencil to draw to those who have been quite advanced.
It is an academic course, (academic being defined as that which can be taught). Drawings are created by copying master drawings, simple to complex still-life objects and classical plaster casts. The student usually begins by copying a master drawing that is supplied to them.
All students start out using graphite pencils with grades of 2H HB 2B. The capabilities and limitations of drawing materials and drawing instruments are discussed at length along with their proper handling. Classes are essentially about learning how to see nature and the world as an artist sees it, through the language and medium of drawing.
The student’s eye will gradually become trained and sensitive on how to compose a layout on the page, assessing proportion, elementary perspective, gauge angles, identify shapes, access the degree of curvature of forms, locate hidden movements and linear rhythms, the structure and modeling of form and the study of light and shade. This opens a whole new world towards a visual literacy that was very common in school curricula 100 to 150 years ago.
Depending on a students’ progress and particular interest repeat students are free to experiment with various drawing mediums like charcoal, pastel pencil, pen and ink etc., along with the drawing surfaces applicable to their chosen medium. <a href="https://www.ocartistsguild.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Joe-Rogine-supply-list-2023.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Joseph Rogine supply list 2024.</a>

Deli Paper Abstract Acrylics
Workshop with Leona Lavone
5/22/2026
$35.00
Discover the joy of spontaneous abstract painting using deli paper and acrylic paints in this playful and inspiring workshop.
Deli paper is a wonderful surface for creating layered textures, unexpected marks, and colorful abstract designs. In this class, artists will explore techniques such as printing, transferring, scribbling, and layering acrylic paint to build rich and expressive surfaces.
Students will work in a series of three pieces at a time, allowing ideas to evolve naturally as layers are added. The process is loose, experimental, and full of surprises.
Your finished deli paper pieces can be enjoyed as stand-alone abstract artworks, or used later as elements in collage, mixed media work, or the starting point for future paintings.
This workshop is perfect for artists who enjoy creative exploration, texture, and working intuitively with paint.
No experience necessary — just come ready to experiment and have fun!

De Lareau Studio

I was born and raised in Toms River, and this community means everything to me. Our salon is family-owned, built on love, dedication, and the values I grew up with. I’ve been in the hair industry for over 20 years, and opening my own salon has always been a lifelong dream. I named the salon in honor of my father, who passed away last year. He was the proud dad of five daughters, and with his passing, his name would have ended with him. By giving the salon his name, I’ve created a way to keep his legacy alive and honor the strong work ethic and values he instilled in me. At our salon, we’re not just about great hair—we’re about family, community, and carrying forward a legacy of hard work and care.
