upcoming mini workshop

22 March 2021

Join me live this April 10, 2021 at 5pm EDT (April 11, 9am NZT) for a mini workshop with Etchr. I'll be giving lots of tips and tricks on how to give your paintings a lovely sense of depth and we'll be talking about compositon.

I'll be painting the scene below - my favourite peak near my home. I painted this one on site last autumn and I'm looking forward to painting it again with you in a few weeks.

Grab your sketchbook, paper, paints and brushes and join me. Class will be approximately 90minutes.

Cost : US$5.50pp. Class numbers limited.

Book here.
