SUMMARY:Paint peacock birds soft pastels | Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Our virtual art class series\, running twice a month\, invites you to slow down\, get creative\, and reconnect through art\, with a beautifully curated art kit posted directly to you\, including all materials needed. \nEach session explores a range of techniques such as watercolour and acrylic painting\, pencil and pen drawing\, and pastels on both canvas and cartridge paper\, using varied brush sizes. \nClasses are guided through unique\, inspiring themes drawn from nature and imagination\, including wildlife\, jungle animals\, stormy clouds and snow\, landscapes and life portraits\, reflections and boats\, still life Australian flora and fauna\, under the sea\, lighthouses\, optical illusions\, and abstract art\, creating a calming\, expressive space to learn\, experiment\, and enjoy the process from home. \nThis free wellbeing activity is for first responder families (check out who we serve). Register yourself\, and up to one other adult and up to two children aged 5 and over. \nAll Fortem Wellbeing Activities are underpinned by the 5 Ways to Wellbeing.
