Begin to draw + paint – Feb 2020
“Well structured, informative and fun.”
Deborah L
I taught another very enjoyable Begin to draw + paint course. The group of students got off to a fab start, introducing themselves, chatting and getting to know each other – creating a real buzz of new friendships and anticipation in the studio. As Laurence said after the weekend, “really informative and very friendly” – I hope every student found the studio as welcoming a venue for learning drawing and painting.
