The Catskills Digital Arts School is dedicated to empowering Artists of all ages with a range of powerful, digital tools to help them create more works, expand their skill sets and broaden their careers. Classes and workshops focus on the basics of drawing and painting with the iPad, the platforms of promotion, and the software and apps to produce digital graphics, videos, animations and websites.

TESTIMONIALS
“Jeffrey Wiener’s iPad workshops changed my life. They are easy, clear, powerful, creatively freeing. I never thought I could do what Jeff taught me to do. He opened my eyes to a whole new world and he can do that for you, too! Give, it a try!”
Sherry Camhy, Artist, New York
“Jeffrey is an excellent teacher. He takes the time and assesses the abilities of the student. He is very personable and easy to work with. Working with him one on one is very beneficial. However, I also believe he is excellent in a larger group. I would highly recommend Jeffrey.”
Sheri J., Lessons.com, 2017
“I feel like I am in the classroom with you because you’ve added a separate camera to the Zoom which lets me watch, as you explain how to draw on the iPad, while I am simultaneously trying the same technique on my iPad. It makes the lesson easy to follow and learn.”
Larry Susnow, Trustee, Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach, Fla.
“The single thing I’ve most wanted to learn is how best and most effectively to use layers. It’s one of the most powerful tools in digital art and your patient and easy-to-understand instruction has brought me a long way. Thank you.”
Gil Maurer, Trustee, Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach, Fla.
