A whirlwind mixed
media adventure
Skip along your creative path like it’s the Yellow Brick Road!
This GRAND ARTventure is based on the rich story and archetype characters from the Wizard of Oz.
I hope you will dive into the creative tornado with wicked witches and the occasional flying house to land in Mixed-Media-Munchkin Land! With we will be working on creating beautiful faces and figures in a non-stop whimsical adventure somewhere over the rainbow.
Dorothy, the Scarecrow and a plethora of flying Monkeys await!
‘Over the rainbow’ is a mixed media workshop, including watercolor, acrylic paint, pencils, pastels and everything else you have!

I want you to be endlessly inspired to create your own expressive, meaningful art!
- If this is your first workshop with me – Welcome! I endeavor to make this workshop as inclusive as possible and welcoming for new artists as well as the more experienced!
- If you are a Davenpeep (a term of endearment for someone who loves doing my workshops!), then this workshop builds on beautifully from my skill-based workshops (Supplies me,Beautiful Faces and I Heart Drawing). We will be building on from lessons learned in all my other workshops so you can continue to add complexity and movement to your original artwork.
- We will be diving into a whirlpool of new watercolor techniques as well as pencil, ink, acrylic and pastels.
- We will be creating faces and figures – all step by step of course – from our imaginations, but inspired by Oz!
The course follows the structure of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ movie – my favourite of all time! Highlights include:

Impactful Lessons
Lesson 1
Meeting Dorothy in Black & White
Dorothy can take many forms. Lets use our simple black and white materials and sketch her out a little more.
Lesson 2
A Creative Landing!
This lesson we are going to look at Dorothy’s dramatic arrival in Oz as I show you some ways to create perspective in a scene.
Lesson 3
Dorothy in Shadows and Light
In the 4 videos I go over the basics of drawing a whimsical face and adding Light and Shadow in watercolour.
Lesson 4
Toto the Sidekick
Toto is Dorothy’s trusty little sidekick! This is how I created my version of Toto ( who looks a lot like Tinsel, my smallest Pomeranian!)
Lesson 5
The Scarecrow
Creating the Characters from Dorothy’s adventure are A LOT of fun. The Scarecrow can grow from just on gestural line!
Lesson 6
The Tin Man
I always found the Tinman rather fascinating. He was so kind and gently spoken, but felt the pain of his missing heart! Drawing him is just as fascinating.
Lesson 7
Opposites Attract
In this lesson we mix the free and the fixed with the Sacrecrow and the Tin Man together.
Lesson 8
Finest of Friends
Here we draw all of our favourite Wizard of Oz characters together! Dorothy, The Scarecrow, The Tin man and The Cowardly Lion.

How the Workshop is Delivered
I have created this class so you can take all the time you need and let the magic happen!
All sessions for the Self-guided study classes are up when you arrive. This means there’s no waiting for projects to be posted and you can take the course at whatever pace works for you.
You can revisit, rewatch, recharge and remind yourself of all the art supplies, all the drawing lessons, all the mixed media inspiration whenever you want.
You need never feel embarrassed about not ‘clicking’ with a new skill straightaway. It’s a terrible feeling when you feel left behind, or that you dont ‘get it’ and everyone else does in a learning situation! But you will NEVER feel that way in my classroom because you can pause and rewind, and ask questions.
Full instructions are on the site if this is your first online class experience. You are in safe hands!
What you Get
Videos
The classes are video based and typically between 7 and 20 minutes long each. Intense creative nuggets! I talk you through each of the art supplies, what they do and show you how to use them through a variety of drawing projects and exercises.
Private Facebook Group
I will ask you to upload your drawings and experiments into our private Facebook Group. It may be nerve-wracking the first time you do it, but trust that you and your creative soul will benefit exponentially by being courageous and sharing your work!
