SANTA MOON - Yes, already.

Monday May 5th - 9:30 - 1:30 - $60.00

Santa Moon

I have had requests to start early on Christmas themed characters for those going back up north for the summer. If you want to create your own cards for friends and family then sign up now!

I will teach you how build this quarter Santa Moon - or the 2nd version - a full moon Santa with chubby cheeks and a big grin - step by step using basic simple shapes.

You will draw, ink and then paint your Moon Santa creating whatever accessories you desire. Santa hat, big bow tie, Christmas ornaments hanging off the end.. you choose and I'll help.

These character classes are longer than usual and run anywhere from 4 to 6 hours - so bring a snack and I'll supply the bottled water, coffee and carbs.

Seats available - 8 - 2 spots left

TWIGFFITY!(Twigshire's version of graffity)

Monday May 12th - 9:30 - 2:30 - $65.00

This is a new class which will inspire your creativity and imagination.

Create a fun painting using letters and shapes and other images for a funky happy piece.

Using ink and watercolor, you will learn how make letters, numbers, flourishes of any kind you want, to produce a little art piece ready for a frame.

In this class, I will show you step by step, how to draw letters in fun ways, let loose with your doodling skills and detail and come up with your name, or initials, or a child's name or a word that means something special to you.

I supply all materials including a frame and bling so you leave class with a completed piece ready to gift or set upon a table.

2 DAY DRAWING AND CARTOON WORKSHOP

Monday &Tuesday - May 19th & 20th 9:30 - 2:00 - $110.00

Basic sketching and drawing from real life - basic character/cartoon practice - create your own character in pencil - then ink and paint

For those of you who have been asking me for two day classes here you go!

DAY 1

You will charge up your basic drawing skills by sketching from real life to begin to develop the skills of "drawing what you see".

Over time, the more you practice drawing whatever is in your environment - the better you will get and the easier it will be to "go off grid" as it were, to create more fanciful character/cartoon styles.

Practice drawing cartoon body - face- shapes - different eyes and facial expressions - simple hands and funny feet

After the practice sessions - create your own character, be it human-like or not; it could be animal, fish or fowl. Then ink it, setting it up for painting.

DAY 2

Day 2 you will be painting your character. I will help you build depth of color and create the illusion of 3D through contrast and layering.
All materials are supplied,including reference sheets for you to take home. Feel free to bring your own paints if you prefer.

Snacks, bottled water and coffee provided.

Bring a light lunch or order from one of the two restaurants behind us.

Seats available - 8 -OPEN
