Update

 

I've had a few people contacting me about my teaching schedule that it's time to post an update. Sorry there are no plans to teach art classes again anytime soon. Currently I am painting and trying to balance it all with family life, courses and work outside the studio.
There is a show planned for May and I'll post more details about that on my blog and website in the coming months. See my previous post for links to other art instructors and classes in Victoria.

Goodbye

Alesha Fowlie copyright 2011- Red Poppies Acrylic On Canvas

I'm wrapping up my classes at Island Blue in the next couple of weeks then on to a long planned sabbatical from teaching art classes. The closure of their classroom has timed well with my decision.
There are lots of great instructors and art classes out there, (see this link) it's time to let someone else take a turn. I wont say I will never be back but I do need to concentrate on my family's needs and my own artwork for awhile, only time will tell what will come in the future.
Thank You to all former students for your patronage, many a time you inspired me too!

Art Vacation

The Circle Two copyright Alesha Fowlie 2009 Watercolour and Mixed Media

I am very excited about this unique art class which is specially designed for students who want to explore their artistic side during the summer months. Eight projects are accessible through a private class blog, which will also include eight side projects and lots of interesting links and technical information. Each project is designed to be fun and adaptable to each student's personal style and favourite materials. As students work through the projects independently, the blog will become a forum for discussion and feedback between Alesha and the participating students. Online version starts June 12th, Studio sessions are July 10th-31st


I have two options for the Art Vacation experience:

1. If you are in Victoria and want to attend the four studio sessions at Island Blue and have full access to the online version please register through the IB website here.
2, If you want to access the online version only for my special introductory price of $50 please register directly by clicking the Buy Now button to the right.
