One Day Coloured Pencil Workshops
This series of workshops begins with the basics of coloured pencil
techniques and then gives students the opportunity to work on projects,
to try out different surfaces and “paintings”. Each day is filled with
exercises, tips and demonstrations that build and expand on the previous class.
Lots of fun and laughter makes that creative process a great learning experience.
The cost of each workshop is $70, which includes paper, coffee, tea and snacks.
Most classes are held on Saturdays and spaces are limited, so register

One Day Studio Workshop
The Studio Workshop Series was created for graduates of Allison's series of
one day Coloured Pencil Workshops! For those who have explored the coloured pencil
techniques taught in Parts One to Four, this is your opportunity to further develop
your talents through Allison's mentoring.
You will bring your own project to Allison's studio and she will coach, monitor,
and encourage you as you create a "painting" from a subject that you have chosen.
The participants in the Studio Workshop will be limited so you will receive very
personalized and tailored lessons from Allison. The cost of this workshop is $70.
To register for a class or for more information, please call Allison at 613-592-6959 or send an email
