Taroom Workshops

Thank You

I want to extend a big thank you to everyone who showed up for one or more classes this weekend! It was an absolute blast to meet all of you and share some art knowledge. We had so much fun and laughter, I’m convinced you all may just be the most animated group of ladies I’ve ever encountered. Hopefully you learned some new skills and have a better understanding of perspective, tone, ink and watercolour.

All workshops were follow by example, Osborne explained each technique while sketching and painting. more visual demonstrations were shown on a tv screen.

Students were shown a good workspace setup and how to avoid mishaps while working on their project.
