Eye Catching

Learn how to create realistic human eyes. Ages 12 -18yrs. Beginners will love this class but more experienced young artists are welcome to join and bring their eye work up to a higher level.

Eyes are the soul to any portrait, beautiful eye work makes your art portraits come alive. There is nothing better than hanging your work and seeing the eyes following you due to your skills.

 In this course I will teach you how to draw, paint and colour pencil human eyes look in all directions.  Focusing on shape, iris details, highlights, eyelids, eye lashes, pupils AND even how to add eye make up to your picture. 

We will start with graphite (led pencil), to master the eye proportions, details, shading, tones, gradients and working towards creating the eye to look like a black and white photo.
I will also spend time teaching how to perfect eyelashes.

Once we have mastered graphite, we will move onto colour, through different mediums including watercolour, acrylic to colour pencil.

THEN if you love this course you can join and continue onto the next course of drawing dogs and cats eyes.

If you love experimenting with art , that’s all you need to join this class

Little Monkee Moos has been around since 2013. We are an art school that has been teaching art to school aged children for over a decade. We also run regular workshops for adults and a bunch of school holiday workshops.

Myself and my staff also sell a lot of our own work and receive regular commissions. 

At Little Monkee Moos we teach all the skills, techniques and foundations required to create beautiful art. We cover all mediums and all styles/genres.

We encourage students to discover and embrace their own style rather than following what teachers or other students style may be. we also encourage freedom to express themselves on paper and in class. We like students to feel relaxed, happy and comfortable when in class as it creates an atmosphere that children enjoy learning in.

In our ongoing term classes we typically focus on one topic which we continue to expand on during the term. Generally, but not always, the different term topics will overlap and are subjects under the main yearly topic. Eg if our year is looking at street art then each term will be spent playing with different street art styles, mediums and street artists. Another example is if we are doing animals over they year then each term we would look at drawing different animals including different textured skin/ fur/ scales etc

We love exhibitions at the end of the year or working towards local art competitions. The first few weeks of each year is dedicated to portraits and creating pieces for the Young Archibolds held at Sydney Art Gallery each year

Our school workshops are usually one off sessions but occasionally we run workshops that run over a couple of days.

Adult workshops  are always a one off session and range from beginners to intermediates.
