4 week program. Perfect for beginners and anyone wanting to strengthen their painting fundamentals.

Learn the foundations of painting through observation, colour theory, and hands-on practice.

In this beginner-friendly workshop, students will explore how to mix a full range of colours using only the primary colours. Through colour wheel exercises and guided demonstrations, participants will gain confidence in understanding hue, value, and colour relationships.

Students will then apply these skills to an observational still life painting, learning how to accurately see and mix the colours needed to paint a simple object from life.

What You’ll Learn…

— Exploring how colour can create light, depth, atmosphere, and richness in painting

If your eyes can’t see the colour in light and shadow, how do you know what to paint? And how can you confidently imagine and create lighting that isn’t there? We all face the same challenge which is light and shadow. Whether you’re painting from life, working from a photo, or creating a scene from your imagination, we can see the light and shadow, but we don’t always know what colours to choose, especially when the colours we need aren’t obvious to the eye.

Starting Sunday Nov. 15th
4 Weeks [Nov 15th to Dec 13th]

Create your own puppet creature!
Your little puppet folk doll will be your very own friend. We will investigate repurposing materials, structures of features, use patterns to create outfits and so much more. Each participant will come away with a 12 inch, clothed creature who can sit or stand in a doll frame. 

Steps include framing a wire armature, construction of plush body, sculpting air dry clay head + hands + feet (or paws!) and sewing basic clothing.
