In this course, students will receive 6+ hours of total live instruction via Zoom over three weeks, Thursday nights 6-8PM MST starting August 24th and ending Sept. 7th, 2023.

Students will paint the ClayMagic Garth gnome in a Harry Potter style alongside the instructor in real time and will learn the drybrushing technique using acrylic paints, shading/highlighting/mixing pastels, and how adding fine lines and details can dramatically increase the resale value of your hand painted art.

The price of this class is for instruction only. The bisque must be purchased separately and is available from Elizabeth Riser at Pour Girl Bisque It’s on Facebook. Each gnome will be custom made with an owl and pedestal, wire glasses and a stick wand.  Link for bisque is here: https://33interiors.ecrater.com/p/43105502/harry-potter-gnome-for-hope-and-dimples

Before, during and after the course, each student will have unlimited access to the instructor via email, Facebook, phone or video chat for any issues, questions or concerns that may arise.

Supplies are the student's responsibility and the list of brushes and paints will be posted approx. 3-4 weeks prior to the first class. Chances are you'll probably have some similar brushes in your paint arsenal already.  Pre-course work will include base coating the entire set before the first class and instructions and photos for that will be provided to students 2-3 weeks prior to the first class.

Links to the brushes used most in class, as well as where to purchase PanPastels are available in the shop section of the website. You can use any pastels you have in this class, you're learning the technique, so stick pastels will work too. However, if you would like the PanPastels, the 20ct is the set that we use most in classes. Students will learn how to mix pastel and/or paint colors as well.

All instructions and Zoom information is posted on the Spaces by Wix app and can be downloaded in your App Store. In the event that you are unable to attend the live class, all sessions are recorded for playback for paying students only. Each week during the course, approximately 24-48hrs prior to the live class, you will receive login information for the Zoom online platform. It is recommended to attend the class either on a laptop, home computer or tablet and the Zoom app can be downloaded in the App Store of your choice.

Once you have completed your purchase, you will receive an email with confirmation and a link to download Spaces. Because all classes are recorded for playback, refunds will not be given if students are unable to attend live.
