Enjoy the stimulus of doing art in a group.
While individual guidance comprises the main bulk of the class, I will also be doing regular demonstrations on anything related to painting and drawing, such as collage, paint transfer, frottage, sgraffito, dry brushing, stencilling, and more. If you are new to art I can help you get started on the basics, such as looking at line, colour, perspective.
You are welcome to join the class no matter what your skill levels are. If you are unsure of the how to begin, just turn up on the first day and I can help determine the best approach for you.
The class is quite casual, with many of the ongoing students working on their own projects, taking guidance as needed.

Bring any reference material that inspires you, whether photographic, or of other artwork. It’s a good way to get started. I have on display art books for referencing also. If you like to draw bring Cartridge paper (A3 or A4 size), pencils in a range of hardness (but more in the soft range), rubbers, crayons, coloured pencils and any other materials that you like to work with.
For painting, acrylic paint is the most practical (some people are using oils or watercolours). You will also need brushes, canvas or paper. Heavier papers are better to paint on, such as 180gsm or higher. I like the medium or rough textured paper. Cheaper paper is OK for experimentation.
