Loyal student, Monica Yeazel, whose works are pictured above, talks about her experience at the student gallery that has been helping people unleash their inner artist for years.
Monica, a retired pharmacist, wanted to flex the creative side of her brain. “[Being a pharmacist] is a very black and white, right or wrong profession, so I’m loving mixing up all the colours in ‘no-wrong-answers’ abstract paintings.”
For over a year she has been taking classes at Art Metro, and expresses that her favourite medium to work with is acrylic painting. “I tried oils very briefly, but I think maybe I’m still too impatient to wait for oils to dry.”
Monica’s biggest takeaway from Art Metro is that she can create something beautiful even from a painting she initially considers trash, if she keeps painting.
When it comes to finding her own art style, Monica says she has a journey ahead, “I haven’t really settled into one particular style of painting: I’m still discovering”.
When talking about her overall experience at Art Metro, Monica ends with: “It’s a great place to learn with really supportive people.”
Art Metro offers a variety of classes including sketching, watercolours, and abstract painting. Sign up for a class today at the website below.
