Student Review from "Colourful Critters | An Oil Pastel Exercise in Letting Loose!"

The Creative Limitations Challenge

Instead of trying to answer ALL of the questions, this class is about narrowing our focus and just asking one at a time. Moving forwards is sometimes about pulling back.

Join me for 7 days of creative goofery, where we'll approach our art from within some fun limitations.

Birds in Bowties

There is something VERY fun about drawing a bowtie onto a bird, and it doesn't stop there! Accessories are a great way to start exploring characters, especially when you are just beginning your character-doodling adventure.

​

Stained Glass Sketching

Unleash your creativity and explore vibrant colours in this playful marker art class! We'll draw inspiration from stained glass windows, creating joyful compositions within a structured "window" format.

​

Swoosh That Ink!

Reductive Monotype is a great beginner-friendly printmaking method which can be done at home. The structure of it is simple - roll down some ink, take some of that ink away, press paper onto the ink that is left and see what results you get!

​

Colourful Critters

In this class I take you through my way of drawing animals with oil pastels, working from dark to light, and using whatever colours take our fancy! Explore the rainbow!

​

Mindful Miniatures in Drypoint

In this class we combine the joys of miniature art with the satisfactions of drypoint printmaking, to create our own mindful design, drypoint plate and print.

​

Creating Characters in Collagraph

Collagraph printmaking at home is a lot of fun, because you can use all sorts of materials to create a design! I hope this class helps you to explore printmaking and find out what kinds of collage bring you joy.

Expansive Landscapes in Collagraph

In creating my first landscape in collagraph, I found I could really invest myself in it. Crafting the landscape in your hands - it takes the view in a completely new direction!
