Art for the Family by Bruce Outridge Productions
I am known for cartooning but offer a number of art styles and have taught classes on many of them depending on needs and availability. Since caricatures and cartooning is my main focus you will find I have a lot of information on how to do that style of art in particular. Most of those classes are of interest to schools, libraries, and art centres who would like workshops on cartoons, creating comic strips, drawing caricatures and more. That being said I do have a lot of work in landscapes, animal portraits, and vehicle art. Mediums that I prefer to teach range from pen and ink to digital media such as iPads and tablets. If you would like to discuss what may interest your group please contact me and we can discuss it.

But every once in a while, a gift idea comes along that breaks the routine, sparks joy, and becomes something the recipient will treasure for years to come. Gift caricatures are exactly that kind of surprise.
