Art Class Description:

You can work in your own style, be new to artistic practise, or a pro looking for inspiration in the form of novel materials, a dedicated studio time, and the company of fellow artists. We’ll explore combinations of materials and learn the rules for effective layering, creating personalized strategies for each artist’s individual style. Whether you prefer watercolour, acrylic, oil, pencil, or collage, you’ll learn many effective methods for creating preliminary drawings and underpaintings, finding the sweet spot for colours and textures, and finishing with seals and varnishes. Come with works in progress, or complete projects that target your areas of interest.

Bring your own supplies, and experiment with new materials as interest arises, for a small use-based fee.

$150 (4 weeks) plus gst. Supplies not included
