Blind Continuous Line Drawing

I will take you through the amazing process of Blind Continuous Line Drawing.

​

For these classes, we will begin by taking the time to see the still life, building confidence with our own ability to view the objects with an artists eye, and then we progress to taking pencil to paper and letting our eyes lead our hand over the page without looking at where we're going.

​

The addition of colour, using fine artist quality watercolour will finish off our creation.

​​

Exploring the art of letting go.

This 2 hour class is a fun experimental drawing class that allows the participants to play with pencils and pens while viewing a still life - then you will draw what you see without looking at their paper and without lifting the pen off the page. The squiggly end result will be coloured in with watercolours, to create a colourful abstract drawing.

Mixed Media Workshops

Collecting, mixing, exploring new ways is what this workshop is all about!  

​

Taking everyday objects, from any room in the house - we explore ways to think outside the box to create art. 

 

Mixed Media is a free form exploration of processes, allowing you to let go of expectations, and giving you and the materials the freedom to tell their own story.

​

Have fun exploring materials and tools in this 2 hour workshop. Create texture and a visual language all your own, with tools and materials that may not usually find themselves at home in an art studio.

​

Ink Cloud Creations

Splashes of monotone or multiple colours ​interlaced on paper, create swirls that look like clouds - from here we spend some time finding the images within.  

​

Using pen or pencils find as many images as you can and outline and define them.  Let your imagination run wild.

​

This meditative practice is wonderful for letting go of the chaos of the day and embracing your child like mind space.

Wild at Art

A new program is in progress!

​

Looking into the endemic animals of Cairns and Far North Queensland, this drawing class will take a deep dive into some of our most vulnerable animals, those we love and some we have already lost.  Once we have explored the way these animals live and how they have been impacted by human activity, we will create a beautiful image to keep as a reminder of the good that comes from contemplation, mindfulness and consideration of the natural world.

​

This will be run during the school holidays in September - keep an eye out for dates and times!
