Begin to draw + paint – July 2019
“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 find their feet, discover what materials they like to use – drawing or painting, and come away with a solid grounding in perspective theory and techniques that will enable them to improve their drawing. Katherine H summed up the experience perfectly when she said ” I really recommend the course: it’s fun, non intimidating and extremely informative. There is lots of opportunity to experiment with different materials and receive help and feedback. Informative, fun, hands-on, friendly.” Read further to find out what the other students had to say.
Student Testimonials
“Informative, friendly, fun.” I would recommend this course “mainly because it is informative and makes me want to take it further. Small group. Good tutor.”
Catherine M
“I would definitely recommend this course as Brian is an excellent teacher and made things clear and very do-able even for a complete novice like myself. It was interesting and exciting to learn about and experiment with the different mediums which I would otherwise not have thought to use.”
Jill M
“Concentrated learning experience giving you all you need to start working on your own. Brian is a great teacher who has thought hard about what beginners need to know.”

“A really great introduction to gain the foundations of many skills to practice. Not intimidating at all and really welcoming with a great atmosphere. I loved working with charcoal and also found the tips for controlling watercolour paints very helpful.”
Adam J
“Relaxing and intense at the same time. Great introduction and exciting to use new media – left me feeling inspired to experiment rather than deflated due to lack of ability. Learnt more in 2 hours on watercolour than 10 weeks of evening class at a local college – due to teaching in context.”
Graham M
“Excellent overview with enough detail to be able to take away technical skills. Lots of variety and the chance to try your hand at different mediums. A complete beginner, I have learnt loads! Now all I need is practice, practice, practice!”
Sarah R
“”A good taster of a bit of everything – very hands on. Really well paced, safe and varied learning space.”
Claire P
“I learnt at a steady pace and in a very supportive environment with as much explanation as anyone needed. I feel I have learnt some of the building blocks of drawing and painting techniques. High quality teaching.”
