Art Workshops & Classes

Train in all fundamental skills first, because you cannot add what you don't know but leave what you do
Picture Leaf Element

It is essential to draw and paint with a solid technical, fundamental base of realistic drawing and painting skills. It is from this firm base you can break free to create whatever your heart desires. You can dismiss what you have learned, but you cannot add skills you do not yet posses. Everyone can learn to draw and paint. No matter how humble your beginnings are, with high-quality instruction and plenty of support while learning, you will improve significantly.


As I teach only a couple of weekly classes, I have created a list of recommendations below for skilled, quality art teachers working within the Gold Coast and Brisbane area.
There are NO further classes of mine than those listed here!!

BOOKED OUT

For absolute beginners and experienced students.

These classes are most times booked out. At the end of each term, students can decide to stay on. If any places become available, I will publish these couple of weeks before commencement. These all media classes run over the course of 5 weeks for both absolute beginners and the more experienced student in drawing with pencils, colour pencils, painting in oil or watercolour. A two-week break follows each block of five weeks. Once enrolled, you are free to stay as long as you want. You choose what you want to do, and I assist you in achieving it. All you need to bring are your painting supplies because easels we provide.

If you are a complete beginner, I will walk you through the fundamentals of sketching and painting while customising the sessions to meet your individual needs. For those who are more advanced, you can pick your subjects, media, and styles, and I will help you through the process. 
INTERESTED IN JOINING WEEKLY CLASSES?
If booked out, send me a note and I will add you to the waiting list. 

There are no further classes or workshops of mine than those listed here.
