3D CHUNKY FLOWER
Monday Feb 10th - 10:00 - 12:30 - $55.00
- This class is a lot of fun and different from what I usually do, but we've had a few of these 3D classes and they are popular and allow you to let loose with a spatula knife.
- We will free hand, following me step by step, an impressionistic floral by 'sculpting' the initial composition.
- After drying the paste you will learn how to let the paint find its way with a little help from you, into the cracks and the crevices.
Seating is limited so hop on board sooner than later to snag a seat.

EASTER WABBIT!
Monday March 3rd - 9:30 - 3:00(?) - $65.00
- Meet "Jackson" the Easter Wabbit.
- We love this guy so much and he has been done I believe, just once before in class so I thought I'd bring him out again.
- He's a bit of a challenge, so even for those who have done other character classes with me, this will be a stretch so I have allowed some extra time.
- We will build him, following me step by step,from basic shapes so that you are learning drawing skills rather than just 'copying'. And of course you can dress him/her however you wish.
This is a long class so bring a snack.
Seating is limited so snag a seat by emailing me below.

CARMEN
Monday March 10TH - 9:30 -2:30 - $65.00
- Carmen is a great fish to learn some basic character/cartooning.
- For those new to this Whacky World of Whimsy, a fish is a great place to have a win creating something you never thought you could!
- We will build her, following me step by step from basic shapes so that you are learning drawing skills rather than just 'copying'. And of course I will show you how to accessorize her with jewels or bows, whatever you want.

- You will make value and color charts so you will never have to guess again! Yay!

Poppies and Pals
Sunday March 23rd - 10:00 - 12:30 - $50.00
- By special request I am running this Sunday class for Poppies and Pals
- Poppies and Pals shown here is a tad bit different from the very loose Sloppy Poppies done in past classes.
- For this session we will use some pencil and after all is said and done we will go in and with a light hand do a bit of inking here and there.
- This piece also does require some glazing - (and patience) layering of wash on top of wash, which creates the 3D effect and roundness of the poppies.
***IMAGE SHOWN IS EXAMPLE ONLY***
Seating is limited so grab a seat while I have some spots left.
Seats available - 7 - 5 Left
POPPIES AND PALS
Monday March 24th - 10:00 -12:30 - $50.00
- My poppy classes have become a favorite over the years and I think because it gives one the chance to really let go.

HANGING BASKETS
Monday March 31st - 10:00 - 12:30 - $45.00
- Let's keep things loose, a bit modern and draw, ink and paint some hanging baskets.
- In this class, I will show you, step by step, how to combine pencil, loose ink work with wet on wet and wet on dry to create a simple floral piece.
- I supply all materials including a mat so all you'll need is a frame to hang your creation!
- For those of you who have done classes with me before this is a nice change of pace - it will give you some new techniques and tools and offers you the opportunity to learn something you can easily practice at home.
- As soon as I have an example painting I will post it.
