All artists can find that they work more successfully in one medium than another. This weekend offers you a chance to explore creating a portrait in several different ways.
Whether you are a beginner or very experienced, this will be a unique opportunity to explore new avenues of expression.
We will be using any or all of these, as you wish:
Pastels, pen and ink, oils, watercolours, acrylics, gouache, charcoal, pencil, wax crayons, oil pastels.
Cathy is experienced in all these media and will offer as much or as little guidance as you need.

"Cathy Bird is a truly inspirational and talented artist and teacher. She has mastered the ability of
being able to judge exactly how much guidance is needed and enables both adults and children to find their own direction and style. I have learnt and continue to learn so much from her." Thank you Cathy. G.K. |
