My first love is visual arts and after a long absence to pursue other interests, I have come back to it, starting with some art classes.

I was very fortunate to take Farhad’s Portrait Class at Shadbolt in January 2018.   Since then I have taken Farhad’s life drawing and painting, abstract, pastels and photorealism.

Farhad is very knowledgeable in the different techniques from the old masters, impressionists, to the modern painters.    He allows you to decide on your own projects and guides you as oppose to telling you what you should or shouldn’t do.   He encourages you to find your own creativity.   

I have learned a lot and am looking forward to attending more of his classes.
