New Years Resolution – BE MORE CREATIVE. If that’s you, read on.
I have a full programme of art workshops and classes to be held at my Kapiti Coast Studio during 2024. There’s something for complete beginners as well as experienced practicing artists. I work as an Artist Educator with @goldenartistcolors and they have helped my studio become a candy shop of painting and drawing products and other creative paraphernalia.
Artists who join my Tuesday morning ARTIST SESSIONS can help themselves to anything on the shelves for work on their own projects. Beginners are welcome at all my topic-based workshops, although some are more challenging than others to cater for people who’d like to develop their art practice. WORKING WITH COLOUR, for instance, goes a bit beyond a typical starter class for colour enthusiasts whereas GELLI-PLATE MONOPRINTING is great for absolute beginners to art. Some topics are inspired by well-known artists such as Charles Rennie MacIntosh and Gustav Klimt and deal with art nouveau design, botanical watermedia drawing and painting, and sparkly decorative bling. Others are very technique based like EXCAVATION LIGHT IN DRAWING AND PAINTING and AIRBRUSHING WITH HIGH FLOW. If finding your own style is what you're after, DRAWING IN THE STYLE OF…..PORTRAITS explores style diversity.

My workshop programme is on my website and is scheduled through to November 2024. Places are limited to 6 people per class and are usually snapped up well in advance, so do get in touch if you’d like to reserve a place. www.stokes.net.nz...
