Sketch the Balloon and Basket

Sketch the Balloon and Basket

Lightly draw the balloon shape, add the curved panel lines, and sketch the basket. Don't worry about perfection—these lines are just a guide for painting.


Paint the Balloon Panels with pastel

Paint the Balloon Panels with Pastel

Start by applying chalk pastels to each balloon panel to create soft, blended colour. Next, use pastel pencils to add richer colour, define the panel lines, and create depth and dimension.


Build Up the Final Layers

Build Up the Final Layers

ayer additional chalk pastels and pastel pencils to enrich the colours, increase contrast, and refine each panel. Keep the centre of each panel lighter and the edges darker to enhance the curved form.


Final Details and Highlights

Final Details and Highlights

Use your pastel pencils to sharpen edges, deepen shadows, and brighten highlights. Add the basket and any last details, then review your artwork and make any final adjustments to create a polished finish.

My journey with art began as a way to express emotions and tell stories without words. What started as a personal passion grew into a love for sharing creativity with others through art classes and workshops.
I love teaching because art has the power to help people relax, build confidence, and express themselves. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing students discover their creativity and create something they're proud of.
I offer art classes for both children and adults in Ivanhoe and Greensborough, covering a variety of mediums including acrylic painting, soft pastels, and charcoal powder. My classes are welcoming, fun, and suitable for all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced artists.
I believe art is about expression, not perfection. My goal is to create a friendly and inspiring space where everyone feels comfortable exploring their creativity and enjoying the process.
