TERM 1 - $220.00 — THURSDAYS 10.00am - 12.30pm
“In this class, my objective is to free people up and get them ‘out of their box’ or mind set, so they are able to connect with their own feelings and express themselves with enjoyment along their own creative path. During the course of this process, they will acquire technical skills and stretch their boundaries in the use of paint and any other material in developing their ideas.”
WATERCOLOUR — THE POETRY OF WATERCOLOUR
Tutor: Peter Porteous

“While touching on traditionalism and painting theory, the key focus of this class is to explore more casual, spontaneous, free flowing and expressive styles and to incorporate this into various subjects. The essence of each student’s unique style and creativity will therefore be absorbed into their work.”
