ART WORKSHOPS & CLASSES

Martina's Arts Training
It is essential to begin drawing and painting with a solid technical, fundamental base of realistic drawing and painting skills. Like when building a house, a strong foundation is vital. It is from this strong base of knowledge that you can break free to create whatever your heart desires. You can leave things out you have learned, but you cannot add what you don't know. Everyone can learn drawing and painting, no matter how humble you start out. With good quality training and lots of encouragement while learning,  you will improve. 

After many years of full time teaching Martina is running at present only the occasional  4-5 week all media art classes and conducts a few art workshop throughout the year at her private home in Highland Park in small groups. She also makes herself available for group bookings of 6-12 people within the Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast area.

There are no further classes of Martina than those listed here. All classes and workshops held either at her private studio or through other outlets will be listed here.
