I love teaching this Thursday evening course over 6 sessions. Each session is very different as we open doors to exciting things about line, tone, colour, shape, form, texture and pattern – the Art Elements. David described the course as “awesome, friendly and very inspiring – meeting great people and getting pro help.” Read further […]
“Really worthwhile. Takes you at an easy pace but goes into new creative areas.

We had a wonderful group of students join me in my studio on the Creative drawing: introduction course. […]
“As a total beginner it’s the fundamentals I needed to know and that’s what I learnt.” Mark N The last weekend of July brought 10 students to my studio for the Begin to draw and paint course. The ideal course for absolute-beginners to make a start in drawing and painting. Perfect to enable them to […]
“Perfect environment for no stress learning” Jack R As we neared the Summer holidays, July saw another Creative drawing: introduction course. A small group of students this time which made a change from last time I taught the course when it was full. This gave me even more time to support students than I usually […]

“I have come away with so many ideas to explore in my own sketchbook” We enjoyed a wonderful studio atmosphere during the June weekend with a small group of enthusiastic students eager to learn new ways of using their sketchbooks to help push forward their creative ideas. Penny’s comment sums up the idea behind the […]
“I had fun” Amy J What better way to sum up the Youth-teenage Sunday art class this week than by Amy’s statement above. Students turned their attention to a classic A-level art project this week. At some point in everyone’s art education there is a need to slice vegetables in half and draw the fascinating […]
“At the end I really felt confident and safe in knowledge I had learnt something”. Roger S My spring Urban sketching course took place last weekend with a fab group of 8 students.

“It’s a great experience – lots of fun, fun, fun” The children’s art class took place again on 19th May on Sunday afternoon.

“It’s a great way to start painting and drawing.” Jean G So pleased to be back in my studio teaching after my Easter holiday. Teaching the popular Begin to draw + paint course is always an enjoyable experience as it gives me the opportunity to talk about all the things I love about art. Laura […]
Another fabulous youth art class for children of secondary school age. Judging by the photos taken during the class the students had a brilliant time. Unfortunately we forgot to ask them for their feedback – so it’s just images for this blog!
“Its a great way to learn art” EBD Tracy taught another well attended youth art class all about drawing shadows and learning to understand the link between the shape of the object and the shapes of the shadows that are created as light moves around an object from different positions. The students ranging in age […]
