Tutoring

Bri has been tutoring both beginners and more advance students since 2014.

She has professional experience in most mediums and is able to provide tuition for pencil, oil/soft pastel, watercolour paint and acrylic paint.

Bri strongly believes anyone can be taught to draw and paint despite what your previous experience is.

Like any subject art can be approached in step by step instructions, and the more often you create the more confident you will become.

DRAWING CLASSES

PASTEL

Best choice for an introduction of colour before you use a brush. Colouring pencils can be a little more restrictive than pastels. Pastels will cover larger areas more easily, and depending on what pastels you choose will blend very well.

Bri's preference would be oil pastels due to their paint like texture but most pastel artist would opt for soft pastels which can be rubbed out much easier, and require less elbow grease when blending.

Most of the pieces shown are curriculum-based works taught to students.

Oil pastels of choice - Caran d'Ache Neopastel, Sennelier or Cray Pas Expressionist

Soft pastels of choice - Unison or Conte A Paris

WATERCOLOUR

When using watercolour paints there are a few rules which will make the process much easier to learn. In particular the materials you use do have an effect on the outcome. The paper you use is particularly important. Once you have your surface prepared watercolour can be very exciting due to its fluidity. Working light to dark can be one of the easiest rules of thumb for beginners to remember due to watercolour paint being transparent.

Below are examples of tutored pieces - A variety of techniques including wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry.

Watercolour paint of choice - Winsor & Newton or St Petersburg White Night

Acrylic is one of the most versatile mediums, and one of the most forgiving. Unlike watercolour, acrylic can be less daunting in terms of rectifying work. It is a great place to start if you want to get stuck in and have some fun.
