DRAWING AND PAINTING CLASSES

An art instructor since 2003, I have developed a visual arts teaching curriculum that is continuously evolving with new content. I focus my efforts on teaching art in a way that is engaging, challenging, individualized, for participants at all levels.

I teach the use of a wide range of media: graphite pencil, charcoal, coloured pencil, water soluble coloured pencils, soft pastels, pen and ink with watercolour paint, oil paint, acrylic paint. Learn how to draw and paint anything from still life to street scenes, figures, portraits, landscapes and more.

Learn about my creative process, and find inspiration for your next project.

Together we can bring your artistic vision to life!

Registration for classes is through GNAG (Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group),

This course will focus on the basics of line drawing and tones (shading). Working from reference photos of your choice, you will learn about rough sketches, making corrections, measuring, using a plumb line, perspective, creating the illusion of depth. I provide individual instruction and guidance, demonstrate techniques, and cover topics of interest to the group. You can explore colour in a range of media as you advance your drawing skills. Media: graphite pencil, charcoal, soft pastels, coloured pencil (incl. water soluble), pen and ink.
