July 26th - Lazy Day's of Summer

Heidi England's "Valentine's Day (Cushion)" from the "All Year Ottoman", is a nice addition to our lazy days of summer. This is a casual project, as it is in a bohemian style and your stroke work need not to look perfect. There is minimal colour mixing involved as we will be using Jo Sonja's Background Colours to paint the final project. Textile Medium will also be used.
I would advise beginners to attend some stoke work sessions before class to gain basic understanding of the art form. Introduction to stroke work tuition £20 per day will be held July 12th -13th giving you time to practice.

Final Project July 26th 9:30 - 5:00 Tuition £20.
Pillow for the Project is £3.50
1/4 Oval Glaze or Filbert is the only brush you will need.
Tea and coffee provided, bring a packed lunch.
This class is at a special price.

About Me

This is an outlet to share things that I am unable to cover in class and connect with other artists. Sometimes, I may share my own experiences and insights that I encounter while painting. You may not be in one of my classes, but I invite you to learn and share this journey with me! So if you want to get “stuck in” and join the discussion on your own terms then that is fantastic!

My inspiration comes in many ways. It may depend on my mood or how I feel at the time. It all affects the way the subject is approached. Some days it could be technique, lighting, texture, shape, or glimpses of colour. For me, inspiration can come from anywhere. It is a matter of keeping your eyes open and working with what you feel inside you.

What is my favorite colour?
If I could only pick one, it would have to be orange.
