Trees and plants often add a beautiful décor to the subject. My students enjoyed using felts, fine liners, and water brushes to create these sketches. Our next online landscape course will take place in October, and we still have some places available. For more…

These beautiful portraits were inspired by the work of French artist Odilon Redon. My students used soft pastels skilfully to draw the portrait of the sewing Lady and they showed the delicate textures of lace and other fabrics so well.
