This engaging activity invites you to work from mirrors for a self-portrait or bring a photo of your subject to capture their essence on canvas. Over four fun-filled sessions, you'll receive step-by-step guidance in essential techniques and little secrets that bring your artwork to life. Whether you're picking up a brush for the first time or building on existing skills, the instructor, Alex, adapts to your pace and style, helping you grow confidence and creativity in a relaxed, supportive setting.

All materials can be provided in a $65 art pack, or bring your own using the supply list. The entry fee is $50 for the course, with palette and varnish complementary.
