Learn To Draw Like A Pro In This Fun Workshop

Top city illustrator will give you personal guidance in her small summer classes

If you love to draw, design or even just doodle and feel you have something to say, why not learn how to make your art 'speak' from an expert? Karen Vermeulen from Bright Studios in Woodstock has been an illustrator for 15 years and has designed many book covers, created cartoons and countless cards and illustrations. She has a passion for helping aspiring artists find their style and voice.


BEGINNER OR BETTER, THIS CLASS WILL HONE YOUR SKILL
You might not have noticed, but there's a growing anti-consumerist movement, which means that a handmade gift will be just the ticket for this festive season. Illustrator Karen Vermeulen's workshops teach aspiring artists how to draw beautiful floral wreaths, portraits, create homemade tags and other great ideas. For those who want to advance their abilities, there are also classes about conceptual illustration and how to weave in humour and use scale.


The cost of each workshop is R450 or R1600 for any four. This includes all art materials and a free gift: either a pen, a sketchbook, or a signed art print from Vermeulen.


WHAT'S COMING UP

  • 2 Nov: Come up with original ideas for conceptual illustration, weaving in humour and scale

  • 16 Nov: Draw minimalist portraits with pen, watercolour and ink

  • 23 Nov: With the festive season coming up, learn to draw festive wreaths

  • 30 Nov: Give your friends and family the gifts with homemade tags and gift wraps

Note: classes for December still to be announced. Book your spot at Bright Creative Space.
