This art class is inspired by Australia’s very own velvet tailed gecko. Children will have fun during the dotting part of this mixed media for children.

They will learn and build on the control and management of dotting using oil pastels and layering to build up the texture in the art.  It’s a different way of using oil pastels and there is a lot of room for self-expression during the colour mixing and dappling and dotting to make the gecko uniquely theirs.  The leaves are a hint to the importance of the ecosystem and plants for all wildlife.  As is the sun, dappled and dotted with warm yellows and oranges, that helps get geckos powered up as they are a cold-blooded reptile.  Australia is one of the richest places on earth for reptiles.

The material and equipment is provided, as is the video tutorial through Youtube.

 A percentage of proceeds from this art class goes to help wildlife in Australia, so you will be helping while making beautiful art!
