Art Class Display

Very exciting to have a display of my artworks in the window of Riot Art and Craft to promote my Art Classes here in Jindalee Brisbane. Riot Art and Craft benefit as well as my students are already buying art materials from their store. Also had a banner made to advertise my classes. Hope it doesn't blow away in these westerly winds!

Brisbane Art Classes

Pastel Art Classes have been running on Tuesday mornings for three weeks now. I look forward to seeing my students every week. I plan to run classes on Friday mornings for acrylic and oil painters. So much fun!

Also nearly completed the portrait of the German Short Haired Pointer. I don't think I can post it here safely as it is to be given as a gift. Soon will begin the Bassett Hound commission and I think I should be able to post a WIP of that one. Also can't wait to get back to the Acrylic of the yachts but no time yet.

Pastel Art Classes for Adults

My Pastel Art Classes are scheduled to begin after Easter in Jindalee. Clear instructions will be given to students as they are guided in creating a portrait of their pet or an animal of their choice. Students will then be encouraged to work on a painting of their choice. The classes will be run weekly and are small (8 to 10 students) ensuring individual attention.
