Keen to learn to draw or paint?
The Real TArt Gallery is taking names for two art classes that will be taking place in the gallery’s new workshop space in August.
Led by local artist Jan Huijbers, the first is a beginners drawing and painting class where those attending will learn the essential techniques of drawing –
how to ‘see’ using the artist’s eye, how to use line, tone and shading techniques accurately to capture an object or composition.
This will be a six week course taking place on a Thursday from 10am – 12 noon.
Any age is welcome, you do not need to have had any previous art experience, just an open mind, an enthusiastic attitude and a willingness to learn and try new things!
The second class which will run on Thursdays from 12.30 – 2.30pm, is aimed at those with some previous painting and drawing experience.
It is a ‘freestyle’ class where Jan will help students learn to master the mediums they are interested in.
Experienced in Watercolour, Acrylic and Oil painting, Jan is keen to help students with a basic understanding of drawing, brushwork and paint to learn to develop their skills in the areas that interest them!
If you think this sounds like you, please get in touch with the Gallery, information on course costs will also be available.
Class numbers are strictly limited, so contact Gallery Director Sarah Stevens (06) 769 5717 asap to register your interest.
Resin pouring courses with Real TArt artist Donna O’Donoghue are still taking place on Saturdays at the gallery.
If you are keen to learn to use resin courses cost $45 and each participant comes away with two finished resin hearts to keep.
The courses have been very well attended and students have enjoyed them so much that Donna is now offering classes in antique crackle, altered books and resin coasters as well.
If you are keen to attend any of these courses contact the Real TArt Gallery for further information or contact Donna directly 06 7588838.
To see a full list of available courses and course times visit Donna’s website alteredimagestudios.co.nz.
The gallery is also in the process of organising a beginner’s mosaic class. If you are interested in attending, please contact the gallery.
Exhibitions continuing at the Real TArt Gallery until the end of July include Mosaic works by Robyn Jacob and an exhibition of paintings by Vicki Fuller in the Upstairs gallery.
Pottery and ceramics by New Plymouth Potter’s Club members Bev Rea and Joan Lamprecht are on show during July also.

NEWS
We have decided to open until 7pm on the last Friday of every month - have a late night Friday as an opportunity for all of our artists, gallery supporters and friends to come together, view the month's exhibitions before they change over and generally just catch up.
5 - 7pm at the Real TArt Gallery, bring along a plate and/or a drink. View the gallery's exhibitions, share ideas, catch up with old friends and meet other artists who share a passion for the arts.
We would love to see you all there!!
