November Drawing Lessons 12 years and over

I cant wait to start this little group of budding artists.

We will start off with some drawing and shading skills and really discover how tone works in an artwork to create depth and form. These drawing classes are about building confidence and making drawing progress fun. You really don’t need to be a great drawer to do this… you just need an interest!

This will be a small group of artists that will work together over 3 lessons. I like to plan the skills to teach, and then let the children guide me in their interests to help them create their own individual composition.

Children will receive their own set of drawing equipment to keep. (pencils, charcoal, smudge tool, kneadable eraser, drawing board, and paper)

Thursday 12 November 4-6pm

Then you will have your turn at making your own unique arrangement too. Annie is also going to show us some styling tips and best ways to photograph our flowers.

In the afternoon, while you kick back with your wine, I will be doing a painting demonstration. I will show you some great ‘getting started’ tips for your artwork, and how I tackle painting the different flowers and foliage. This might give you the confidence you need to start your masterpiece!

On Sunday, we will be spending the whole day painting! You can either follow along with what I am working on or choose your own composition. I will be there to help you!

This event is $590 and everything you need is included….as well as the beautiful lunch, afternoon teas and drinks.
