Class Details

This ONLINE class is suitable for students of all abilities.

Our Paint & Papercraft sessions are a new addition to the Ardington ONLINE programme; a step away from our traditional jam-packed classes, we will potter our way gently through an absorbing single project, enjoying the simple pleasure of spending time together creating something wonderful.

In this session, we will be creating our own hand-crafted tiny tunnel book, looking at different ways to construct it, and how to design an image in layers to work as a little diorama. We will then paint it in an illustrative style using watercolours, pencils and dip pens to add detail.

You can work along with Karen following step-by-step, then finish the project at your leisure. Use the templates provided or create your own whimsical illustrations to make into tiny tunnel books following the methods demonstrated.

Skills Covered

• Constructing a tunnel book (and a cheats version!)

• Design and layering

• Illustrative painting techniques
