Bespoke lessons

Available from my studio for individuals and small groups

Private bespoke lessons enable students to benefit from learning at a pace that suits them best. Exercises, tips + techniques cherry picked from across all my regular drawing, painting, and mixed-media courses support students on their personal creative journey.

My teaching focuses on developing observational skills, personal creativity, and improving techniques in a variety of media. Private tuition allows me to target my teaching to address any additional learning needs a student may have which ensures students get the most from each session they attend and progress swiftly to reach their creative potential.

The teaching I offer is in Fine Art skills and creativity – I do not offer teaching in illustration, animation, design or graphic skills.

  • What level course is right for me?

    To help you answer the question,

    “What level course is right for me?”

    To help you decide what level course is most suited, you will see Teaching Levels explained within the Course Info tab.

    Students will always benefit from clear instructions, lots of one-to-one tuition, guidance and supportive encouragement on all of my courses.

    Level 0: Absolute-beginner 
    For absolute-beginners to start learning art for the first time. Teaching focuses on core skills with step-by-step instructions.

    Level 1: Beginner
    For beginners looking to establish, refresh and gain confidence in fundamental core techniques.

    Level 2: Improver
    For improvers who already have the basics and wish to develop and enhance their skills and techniques further.

    Level 3: Intermediate
    For those students with a growing, but limited, amount of art experience who feel confident in their art knowledge and skills yet recognise the need for further creative learning to take their art to the next level.

    Level 4: Experienced
    For those students with creative experience who feel confident in their abilities and techniques, who are looking to challenge themselves further, to create a coherent body of work, possibly to exhibit and sell. 

  • What course should I do next?

    To help you answer the question,

    “What course should I do next?”

    There are 2 approaches to deciding what to do next.

    1. Treat my courses as a Mix + Match Patchwork
      All my courses can be booked as single stand-alone courses on whichever topic takes your interest.
      Just book whichever course you want when it suits you.
    2. Choose one of the linked courses at the bottom of this page
      These courses are suggestions that will help you develop and progress your art in a more focused direction.

    Whichever approach you choose, remember to check the Teaching Levels to decide if the course is appropriate for you. Contact me if you’re not sure and I’ll be happy to help.

Student Quotes

“A fantastic introduction to drawing and painting.  I learnt so much about technique, materials and equipment I feel excited to go away and practice what I have learnt.”
Joanne B
“I learnt about the basics of shading, 2-point perspective and use of guidelines [for measuring], priming [canvases], watercolours & acrylics, types of brushes, papers, canvas, and paper sizes.”
Nan D
“A very good introduction to a range of drawing and painting techniques, ideal for someone like me who has not picked up a pencil or brush for 40 years.”
