Who are your teachers on Kaleidoscope?

We have a wonderfully inspiring and talented teacher line up for this round of Kaleidoscope!

I’m so excited about all the fantastic contributors to this course! We have a range of truly incredible artists contributing their wisdom, light, beauty and artistic colourful talent to the course, people like Ida Andersen Lang, Andrea Gomoll, Christa Forrest, Effy Wild and Eulalia Mejia are only some of the amazing teachers contributing to Kaleidoscope 2022!

We’ve all prepared wonderful classes that we can’t wait to share with you! :)

Here are some examples of work of the teachers who will be teaching on the course! (Please note, these are not class projects, but examples of the teachers’ styles). I’m so inspired by these amazing works!

What You Will Need to Join this Course

• You will need a high speed internet connection to be able to stream & download all the videos. If you have a slower connection you can stream the videos online and/ or learn through the PDFs, but the best option is to have a high speed internet connection.
• It will be helpful to have a basic understanding of IT, like reading emails, navigating sites like Facebook etc. If you’re having trouble with some IT related stuff some help can be given, but in depth IT guidance cannot be given.
• If you are planning on downloading and keeping the videos you will need to make sure you have approx 80GBs of data space available (if you are low on space on your computer we recommend you buy a separate external hard drive to which you can download all the lessons). Unfortunately I am unable to offer the entire class on DVD/ CD.
• Here is a tentative supply list. Pls note: you don’t have to buy all the products on this list. Start with what you have and buy only if you really want to buy the products listed. Basic starter pack would be:

We encourage people as much as possible to ‘make-do’ with what they have available and buy some supplies here and there, but overall you can replace and substitute what the teachers use with what you already have. If you wanted to buy the bare essentials, I would buy: 

• • A pad of watercolour paper 140lbs (300gsm) 12 x 9″ or 16 x 12 hotpressed
  • A pencil to draw with 
  • Some neocolor II crayons, colours: 1. salmon 2. magenta 3. teal 4. orangish yellow
  • A set of watercolour paints
  • Student grade acrylics set
  • 1 white posca pen/ 1 black posca pen (fine nibs)

Praise for other Willowing Arts Courses:

“Unbelievable, Life changing, jammed packed classes for any skill level. Wonderful teachers that explain and guide you to create in a loving environment. They even have a Facebook group just for you and your class mates to share and support one another. You will not be sorry, Tam is amazing and will have you relaxed and comfortable and all the teachers are as well. There is something in Life Book that is waiting for just you. “– Denise Sorro-Butler – Tennessee, USA

Honestly, it is the best course I have taken in my life (seriously). I have learned so much and it is helping to make my art evolve.  The teachers are wonderful.  If you would’ve shown me some of the pieces I did from this course a year ago,  I wouldn’t have believed I could have created them. This is the most amazing course EVER!  I am so glad I stumbled across the mention on Facebook. – Susan Romita – New York, USA

I have grown so much and learned so much about how my different art materials work. I’ve struggled and been astounded at things I’ve created. I’ve been blown away by some of my fellow classmates’ work, and I am determined not to compare my near-beginning to someone else’s middle! I’ve learned how to fix things if I mess up and I’m more confident in my work. And I had fun! I think you undervalue the course – it is worth far more than we pay for it. But I understand you want to keep it affordable for a larger number of people. And Tam, I love love love the little dance you do at the beginning of your videos! It makes me so happy. – Life Book is an amazing mixed media journey with a great variety of teachers, where you have a lesson each week and you learn more than you ever thought possible. It’s an amazing value for what you receive. You MUST do it! –  Kim DuPree
