ADULT FIGURATIVE OIL PAINTING & DRAWING CLASSES
WINTER 2025
Welcome to a series of Oil Painting and charcoal drawing sessions designed for open-minded and flexible adults! These classes are ideal for anyone who would love to spend time painting, drawing and exploring form, value, colour, technique and flow in the art studio. You do not need to have any previous experience in either drawing or oil painting to enjoy these classes- simply come as you are and unlock your hidden potential! I will guide you through these processes and set you up for success in a supportive, learning environment.
Each class offers a fresh new lesson in either underpainting or drawing figuratively from a source, that leaves room for interpretation, expression and creative license yet offers a gentle framework to turn to and a visual place to land when needed... so no one feels lost at sea. In each class, you can bring fresh new energy, perspectives and ambitions. Classes are designed to make oil painting and drawing accessible, fun and beautiful so you can experience the richness of painting and drawing and leave with an artwork that inspires you.
Your materials will be provided during this session to help make this experience convenient and easy for you. Simply show up to paint and draw! Together we will start developing both language and understanding of the oil painting and figure drawing process. Classes finish with a gentle critique to help us learn and grow together. Throughout 4 classes, we will explore these classic art forms, sip tea together and soak in the creativity together at the studio. In these classes, I will share my love of flow in both painting and drawing in my beautiful studio with you.
