(Beginners class)                                                                                   

You will learn to do detailed botanical drawing from plants and flowers created by careful observation and the practice of pencil drawing skills and shading techniques. Watercolour techniques will follow, of which some exercises will be more spontaneous in application. This introductory course will prepare you to work on your own after completion, or you can choose to continue with the intermediate course.  

These classes will be suitable for anyone who loves nature and would like to create botanical art in a peaceful environment.

Students will be encouraged to work in the style that becomes their own and to create vibrant, realistic drawings.

• All plant specimens will be supplied throughout the course.
• Pencils in h, hb, 3b, 4b, 6b and sharpener.
• Water colour brush shape and sizes: round, 0 and 2 and a cheap synthetic mixing brush.

There seems to be a shortage since lockdown).

Join me in my restorative and liberating classes to ignite your creative spirit!

I offer classes to adults and teens in two studios as well as giving an online zoom class. I also give private consultations and facilitate art workshops.

I am also a zen coach, using art as a therapeutic tool.

As an artist and art teacher, with many years’ experience, I see art as an anchor in a very choppy sea; helping with focus, staying present and giving you  a voice that is unique to your narrative. It also helps give meaning to your life in this confusing world. It can be an escape and a homecoming.

My classes allow you to continually evolve your practice where you have the time to experience the unfolding of a process and not be reduced to prescription or formula, allowing you to reach your fullest expression in a safe space with an experienced person to guide you. I teach you to look and think a bit differently, so that the purpose of art isn’t just to master a skill, but to find peace during the process as well.

Processes:

Initially I share a number of techniques and media using various mark making exercises, giving you the tools to develop your own creative language. During this time, I will supply the materials. I build into the classes many different themes and ideas that we work with such as: botanicals/portraits/figures/landscapes/ abstract ideas and some contemporary processes too. I am also happy to give a list of materials you can use.
