Art Workshops & Classes

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

It is essential to draw and paint with a solid fundamental base of realistic drawing and painting skills. Classes begin very simple, so that even total beginners feel comfortable and the more in depth training is brought along in an easy to understand fashion, yet packed with valuable information. 

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, with high-quality instruction and plenty of support while learning, you will improve significantly.
There are NO further classes of mine than those listed here!!

Beginners & Experienced
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. 

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.

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 followed by a two-week break. Tuition in drawing with pencils, colour pencils, painting in oil or watercolour.
If booked out, send me a note and I will add you to the waiting list.
