Art for the Soul

Marie Ellen Boolsen

Many people believe that they are not creative and that art belongs to the artistic few. The truth is that art belongs to anyone who wants to experience it. It is simply one of the many ways in which we attempt to explain ourselves and share with others the unique way in which we see and experience the world around us.

Art for the Soul is fun, exciting and suitable for beginners and those who want to get back to art making. The first three classes will introduce the use of water-based media such as water colours, water based oils, acrylics, and water soluble  pencils, pens, and pastels.

All materials will be supplied for the first class.
