Heat up your afternoon with the vibrant pulse of Latin jazz when Club Havana takes over the Coronado Public Library’s Winn Room! Powered by the globe-spanning lineup of Ignacio Arango (Cuba) on bass, Yasser Cruz (Cuba) on timbales, Robert Felcher (New York) on congas, and the brilliant Turiya Mareya (Tijuana) at the piano, the group melds fiery Afro-Cuban rhythms with sleek modern harmonies. A critically acclaimed composer and one of Southern California’s most innovative—and criminally underrated—artists, Mareya will lead the band through her own genre-bending originals alongside beloved Latin-jazz standards, weaving funk, tradition, and avant-garde sparks into an irresistibly dance-worthy set. Admission is free, the vibe is electric, and the music is guaranteed to transport you straight to a sultry Havana night—come catch the groove! Coronado Public Library on Facebook / Instagram

This is a unique opportunity to study with two accomplished and warmhearted artist-educators in the same course. Ken and Stephanie are both well known for their ability to help each person find their own unique drawing abilities. Each week there will be a life model. On day one, Ken will introduce a simplified approach to gesture drawing and the fundamentals of figure and head construction. During Weeks 2 and 3, Ken will go deeper into the importance of gesture drawing in relation to constructing and composing longer poses. During the final three weeks, Stephanie will continue to build on Ken’s lessons but will include longer poses that will allow students time to incorporate the basics into an actual process of drawing or painting more finished figures and portraits. Materials: You do not need to buy everything on this list. Only buy materials that relate to the medium you plan to work with, or if you are more advanced, bring your own supplies. On day one you will only need newsprint, a drawing board, vine charcoal, kneaded eraser, and one colored pastel for accents. Charcoal: Soft vine charcoal; 4B charcoal pencil; kneaded eraser; smooth newsprint; drawing board; rags or paper towels. If you prefer graphite: 2B, 4B, and 6B graphite pencils; kneaded eraser; 18” x 24” drawing pad or 18” x 24” smooth newsprint; drawing board.

In this class, Jeff teaches how to efficiently begin and complete a painting. He says, “I focus on a purposeful approach to moving through blocking in an underpainting and understanding how to finish it without overworking. We try to work loose and quickly, so the process of painting is enjoyable.” Materials: Paint: (I like Winsor & Newton) Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Yellow Light (or Pale Hue), Permanent Alizarin Crimson, Titanium White. Brushes: #2, #4, #6 (flats). I recommend Robert Simmons Signet brand. Supports: Canvas panels (buy bundle of five for the best price). For class we will be working in small format, 8” x 10” or 9” x 12”. (Please no larger than 12” x 16”.) Other: palette (disposable paper palette is fine); odorless mineral spirits in solvent tank or small tight lid jar; small metal palette knife. If you already have paint and this equipment or similar, perfect. Most important is that you have the four paint colors mentioned, especially Permanent Alizarin Crimson. We will discuss materials more extensively during our first class. For intermediate to advanced students only.
