DRAW A DUDE/DUDETTE!
Monday Jan 27th - 9:30 - 2:30 - $65.00
- I've had a lot of requests to draw a "person" - and this guy is about as close I get! ( I will also have the female other half if anyone wants to do a female version..)
- I will teach you how to build the character from a basic line drawing and shapes so that you create your very own personality rather than "copying" from me.
- I build the character on the spot, one element at a time while you observe me - then you do the same - one bit at a time.
- We will draw with pencil, then ink, then watercolor using washes and a few different techniques.
- This is a longer class and I will provide water, and cookies. You may however wish to also bring a snack for yourself.

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.

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.

- 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!
