WORKSHOPS - LIFE DRAWING WITH DAMIEN KURTH
Friday 14th November and
Friday 12th December
I have designed these workshops to follow on from one another as a small course of study.
However, they will also work individually for anyone who can only attend one.
These classes will be run in a relaxed inclusive environment where the emphasis is on
learning and extending artistic practices.
All sessions will start with a few quick warm-ups then there will be poses between 10-45
minutes.
I’ll be there as a guide and to discuss any areas that individuals find tricky or wish to explore
more. This may include using different medium.
What You Need to Bring:
Damien will supply all materials for this workshop.

Elizabeth St Ext.
Dates: Friday 14th November and 12 th December
Time: 9.30am - 12pm

WORKSHOPS - WATERCOLOURS: KEEPING IT SIMPLE FOR BEGINNERS WITH JAYNE LYDFORD
Wednesday 11th, 18th and 25th of February 2026
Do you want to try watercolours? Learn about the basic principles of watercolours! Join Jayne for 3 consecutive Wednesday mornings in February.
From the paper, paints and brushes, to applying washes, making colour charts, and adjusting your values, I'll take you through my 9- hour course (3 hours each Wednesday) and set you on a path to develop your own style of watercolour. From these basic skills
you'll find a whole new world of creating your art through the TSA.
Jayne Lydford:
Watercolours are my favourite hobby, and I have had several years of experience. Since joining the TSA I enjoy the opportunities they provide for me to improve my skills, and to use their Expos to display and sell my art. I look forward to meeting, and sharing my knowledge, with you.
