In-Person Classes 2023
Brenda's Art Classes - Drawing, Watercolour Painting and Acrylic Painting Classes
I have added this class because the other 2 classes are full. It is a true beginners class.
I teach all the basics of watercolour painting from supplies and materials, to watercolour washes and brushstrokes. This class is based on realistic landscapes. Each student must bring their own supplies. A supply list will be emailed to the participent once they have registered. I recommend students to come to the first class with any supplies they may already have. If a student has no supplies they should come to the class with none. The first class is all about supplies and I have extras that can be borrowed for that class. Supplies can be very confusing to the beginner and I would like to expain a lot of things before they buy. No medium can match the magic of transparent watercolor. It has a freshness and immediacy that can’t easily be duplicated with oil or acrylics. As it flows it has its own mind and students will learn how to adapt with unexpected changes and how to adapt and use them in their paintings. |
There was not enough interest for an Acrylics Class at this time.

Brenda teaches classes in drawing. Drawing is the foundation of everything artistic. Yes I can teach you painting if you don't know how to draw but you would need to copy or trace your image from photographs. Learn how to align your hand with your eye so you can draw as your eye follows the outline of a form. Learn the basics of light and shadow. You will be able to use everything you learn here to your paintings. A good drawing in itself is a work of art.
