Hello!  I'm Nic, an artist and illustrator who loves bringing all sorts of creatures to life. Animals are my favourite things to draw, and that's what we'll be focusing on in this class.

We’ve all been stuck staring at a blank page, unsure of where to begin.  But inspiration is all around us, sometimes as beautiful things, but often in the everyday, the mundane and the ugly things too.  We just need to learn how to look for it.

Join me for a fun explorational journey where we'll learn to see the world with fresh eyes and get our imaginations rolling. We'll start by venturing outdoors, snapping photos of everyday things, clouds, rust, flaking paint, damp road surfaces and even trash.

Then we'll look a bit harder at those photos, discovering hidden creatures just waiting to be set free.

By the end of the class, you'll sharpen your observational skills and your imagination and find new ways of looking at everything around you.

I'll be using Procreate on the iPad for demonstrations, but this method works with any medium you're comfortable with.
