I am so happy to make this announcement today! it's been a long time coming and a couple of rescheduling, being an artist while working full time and communicating with collaborator when you live on opposite sides of the planet brings its challenges but am I ever glad that we persisted!

I was looking to expend Kabostudio's class catalogue and bring something that is both unique and complementary to what I already offer and I believe that this new class does exactly that.

It's my pleasure and honour to present to you the first solo class of Natalie Eslick aka Shady Bower. Natalie is a well develop artist whose skills never cease to amaze me. Her passion for pencil work makes her the perfect teacher to guide you and develop your fundamental drawing skills. 

​Drawing is a foundational skill that can enhance not only technical and compositional aspects of art in other mediums, such as painting, but is a sensitive, emotive and powerful medium of its own. A finished drawing has the same amount of thought, feeling and effort put into it as any painting, and may take even longer to execute - tiny grey lines working together to create depth of form, value and story. Many of the artists we think of as great masters produced detailed and intricate dry media drawings alongside their paintings, and there has always been a small but powerful band of artists creating incredible work in pencil and graphite, and charcoal and chalk that perhaps don't get the same recognition as painters - yet what is created is no less a glorious piece of art. 

For me, the act of drawing, of putting pencil to paper and making tiny scratches of colour, builds a connection with the divine creative, grows my observational, fine motor and imaginative skills, and often results in intentional, finished pieces of art that does not need to move to another medium to be valid.

Between you and me, I watched the lessons and Natalie is an amazing teacher, she has a way to make you feel at ease and leaves you with the impression of having spent the afternoon chatting and creating with a dear friend while drinking tea.
