Out of stock*** This is very probably the only BEGINNER class Shelley will teach this year at OAS.*** In this crash watercolour course, Shelley will share watercolour basics and best practices for wannabe watercolourists and the importance of simplification. Learn about materials, washes, wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, colour mixing, negative/positive painting, layering and some pretty cool textures. Through a series of exercises and small paintings, you'll gain a better understanding of the medium and the building process to create paintings of which you can genuinely be proud.

Feathers & Fur: A Creative Drawing AdventureBring your favourite animals to life in this exciting drawing course! From fluffy pets and majestic birds to woodland creatures and wild animals, young artists will discover how to capture the textures, shapes, and personalities of the animal kingdom using a variety of professional drawing materials. Throughout the course, students will experiment with graphite pencils of different grades, coloured pencils, and watercolour pencils while learning essential drawing techniques such as shading, blending, texture, proportion, and colour layering. They'll build confidence with every project as they create artwork they'll be proud to take home. Designed for ages 7–13, this class is taught using a multi-level approach. More experienced artists will be encouraged to add extra detail and refine their techniques, while younger or newer artists can simplify each project and work at their own pace. Everyone is supported and challenged at the level that's right for them. Whether your child is just discovering a love of drawing or already fills sketchbooks at home, Feathers & Fur is a fun, encouraging environment where creativity, imagination, and artistic skills can soar!
