Arts Experience at Loyalist

Course Overview: Learn from the comfort of your own home—no prior Zoom experience required! The first class includes a short tutorial to get everyone set up and comfortable. Whether you’re a beginner or an intermediate water-media artist, Andrew will guide you through composing strong base structures and then lead you step-by-step to create at least three vibrant paintings over four weeks. His overhead camera lets you see every brushstroke clearly during live demonstrations.

Students receive personalized feedback (for those who wish) with real-time, marked-up images. You’ll build confidence in brushwork, experiment with vivid colour, and learn effective ways to define shape and form while expanding your creative repertoire.
