Use colour freely in a simplified manner and create a small piece that will be colourful, fun, crazy and unique. Hook a caricature of someone you love, hook your pet, or do a funky self-portrait, all in bright colours. No seriousness in this class! Come with a sense of humour, a lot of colour and a willingness to let loose and have some fun.
