Class Date: Sat, Nov 21, 2026 at 10am

Instructor Name: Jim Sears

Class Description: Capture the charm of the iconic Rod and Gun Pub in this engaging drawing and watercolour class. Using 2-point perspective, you’ll transform a flat photo into a lively 3-dimensional artwork. Begin with a quick thumbnail sketch in pencil, then develop a detailed pen and ink drawing of the pub. If time allows, add a beautiful watercolour wash to bring your piece to life. Designed for artists working at different paces, this class offers a relaxed way to build confidence with linear perspective, pen and ink, and colour. Expect creativity, learning, and maybe even a surprise between sessions.
