“Good step by step instruction in the basics of drawing and shading. [I have learned] how to use proportions and perspective will help shape my pictures so they look more realistic to fit on the page. I enjoyed working with paints, especially acrylics.”

“Very good, very relaxed, great tutor in Brian. Flew by. [I have learnt] Lots! A really good base to start from. Would like acrylics to be longer, regardless a great course.”

“Thorough but accessible introduction to a range of drawing and painting techniques, good opportunity to try a lot of things under guidance. Trying lots of things like charcoals and acrylics being my favourite. Totally met my expectations (would have loved longer with acrylics).”
