The teacher, Ania Salmina (me), is a professional artist and architect with 20 years of visual art experience. I have a strong academic base in both: painting and graphic techniques. More info on www.aniasalmina.com
Can't wait to see you in my class!

MORE DETAILS:
There are tutored sessions where I’ll lead students through the whole process. The lesson structure: warm-up, theoretical part, observation drawing with my supervision, the show - final discussions for the session and personal strategies. We’ll try many poses for one lesson. And you will be drawn multiple times as well! Make sure you double-checked the location on the evening before the event, as it could be changed if rainy/wet.
By the way, we take photos to share on Social Media etc. Take a bunch!

THINGS TO TAKE WITH YOU:
- Art supplies of your choice. The best option for the 1st lesson would be a pencil + eraser + sketchbook or paper on a sturdy surface (board/book). Instead, you can bring iPad, fineliner pens, gel pen
- Weather-appropriate clothes for outside locations (wear 1 layer warmer)
- Something to sit on (folding chair or foam pad would be great)

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me through IG @SunShine_roof or email Aniasalmina@gmail.com (messages on this platform often get lost)
