Soft Strokes: Pastel Fundamentals
(One Class, One Painting)

Discover the vibrant, expressive world of soft pastel in this beginner-friendly class. Each 4,5-hour session (we will stop for about half an hour for lunch/coffee break to give our eyes some rest) focuses on foundational pastel techniques while guiding you through the creation of a complete painting - from first sketch to final stroke.
​
Basic materials are provided. A list of recommended higher-quality materials will also be shared for those who will fall in love with the medium and wish to build a personal pastel tool kit.
​
While the class is designed with beginners in mind, all experience levels are welcome. Whether you join us for a single class or commit to the full series, you'll gain confidence, technique, and a finish piece of art in every session.
​
Come explore color, texture, and creativity in a relaxed, supportive environment.
The Joy of Drawing: A Beginner's Journey
(4-Week Summer Adventure)
If you've ever said, "I can't draw," this series is for you!
​
Over the four-week series, you'll learn to see as an artist and gently build skills and confidence through simple, approachable exercises that focus on seeing, exploring, and enjoying the process - not perfection. Starting from zero, we'll cover the essentials: lines, shapes, shading, perspective and composition. You'll learn how to loosen up your hand, and how to start trusting your creative instincts. In our safe, encouraging space curiosity matters more than talent: play, practice, and progress. Each class builds on the last, so you'll finish the series with a solid foundation, a sketchbook full of progress, and - most importantly - a newfound love for drawing. The time between each classes will allow you to play, explore and practice what you've learned at your own pace.
​All materials are provided. Just bring yourself (and a sandwich as we will have a 30 minute coffee break), your curiosity and willingness to try something new!
