Continue the journey! If you currently draw or paint and want guidance on how to improve your artwork join us for this online class. Work on the subject matter of your choice in your preferred medium: pencil, charcoal, ink, coloured pencil, water soluble pencil, soft pastel, paint (oil or acrylic). If you have done in person classes simply pick up where you left off.
How it works: E mail a photo of your work in progress each week. I print it and review it live during class, respond to your specific questions, suggest next steps, demonstrate techniques, the use of line, tone and colour to create depth, improve composition (and more!).
You will have access to a video recording of each class.
