About the Event
In this workshop, we’ll be drawing from our imaginations with the help of my illustration prompt cards! It’s an easy way to find fantastical things to draw and learn to draw from your imagination. For me, the joy of illustration is that you can draw anything. It’s not like the boring art classes from the past where you have to draw a bowl of fruit. Nope. Draw some cats in resort gear or an elephant with tattoos instead!
You don’t need any special talents, skills or experience. You don’t need to be creative or artistic. I’ve designed exercises to help you overcome your fears and mental blocks and teach you how to think creatively, illustrate your ideas and find your very own style. Whether you’re an experienced artist looking to try something new or a complete newbie who hasn’t drawn a stick figure since pre-school, you’ll love this workshop.
My workshops are judgement-free zones where the focus is on having fun because that is when you are able to create your best work and learn the most.
All the art materials you’ll need will be supplied, as well as the illustration prompt cards we’ll be playing with. No need to buy or bring anything. We’ll start the workshop with some exercises, and then you’ll create a final artwork using inks, watercolours and pens on watercolour paper. I’ll guide you every step of the way, and there are no dumb questions! You’ll leave with an original illustration that you created yourself!
There will be prompt cards for sale @R300 a pack if you want to get your own set and continue the fun at home.
There are no food or drinks included, but there are great restaurants a few steps from the venue and you’re welcome to grab a coffee, croissant, pizza and snack and drink while you draw or bring your own snacks and drinks.
Oh, and if you’re wondering who I am, I am a professional illustrator, designer and art director with over 20 years of experience as a working creative. I’ve won some awards, I’ve learned a lot in that time, and I love passing on what I’ve learned. I’ve been teaching since 2019 and have helped lots of happy students find their creativity and confidence and hone their skills! And I have the 5-star reviews to prove it. Look, I can’t sing, do my taxes or parallel park, but I can teach you all about creativity and illustration!
I hope to see you there!
