Tiggy's at crescent

classes

At Tiggy's school of art, the process is as important as the end product. We strive to teach the techniques and skills necessary to enable you, the art student, to become an independent artist.

    In all our classes, learn:
  • the colour theory behind the painting--the reason for certain colour choices and where/when to use them
  • how to mix the colours you need to the correct value, intensity and temperature
  • the brush and/or palette knife techniques to achieve the look you want
  • design choices including placement of objects within a painting to encourage movement and flow
  • different preparation and finishing techniques/methods

If you would like to register for a class, please visit our studio in Crescent Beach or call us at (604) 541-8322.

Registration Policy

1. Class Deposits are one half the full class fee in order to hold your spot in a class. If you find it necessary to cancel, please give us as much notice as possible and if we can fill your spot, one half of that deposit may be transferred by you to another class. If no replacement can be found the whole deposit will be forfeited. The balance of the class fee is due and payable when the painting surface and class prep are picked up, about 2-3 weeks before class.

2. A non-refundable deposit is required for the class painting surface that has been ordered for you. If you cancel you may use this deposit towards the purchase of that surface.

As always, deposits are completely refunded if WE cancel.
