Service Description

Get in touch for $45 trial classes! Please contact us to book specific dates for session packs. These classes are available as weekly sessions and are not subjected to term dates. whimsyandcostudio@gmail.com Our Young Artist Mentoring sessions are small, personalised art classes designed for children who want to go deeper into their creativity while learning real artistic skills and techniques. In this small group setting (maximum 3 students), we explore techniques such as drawing, painting, mixed media and visual storytelling. Each session balances skill-building with open-ended creativity so children can develop their artistic voice with guidance and encouragement. Children will experiment with materials such as watercolour, ink, charcoal and mixed media while learning techniques like shading, composition and character design. This is a calm, focused studio session for young artists who enjoy spending time creating and exploring ideas. We’ll explore drawing, painting, mixed media, digital media, storytelling and more through art while learning real techniques in a calm studio environment. Examples of materials we can explore across session: - Watercolour techniques - Charcoal drawing - Gouache - Ink - Observational drawing - Character design - Story illustration Session details: • Tuesdays or Thursdays 5:00pm - 6:00pm • Ages 6 - 12 • Maximum 3 students Pricing: Single class: $55 5 class pack: $260 10 class pack: $500 Class packs can be used flexibly and do not need to be used within a specific term.
