To help you answer the question,

“What level course is right for me?”

To help you decide what level course is best, you will see Teaching Levels on each of the course pages above the ‘Add to cart’ button.

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

Level 0: Absolute-beginner 
For those students who have never done any art as an adult or perhaps may have dabbled a little many years ago.  Teaching focuses on fundamental core skills, leading students step by step, with loads of 1:1 support and guidance.

Level 1: Beginner
For those students who have done very little art or are returning to art after a long break and feel they need to gain a foundation in the basic techniques.
Teaching focuses on core skills with tutor-led exercises on use of materials and techniques

Level 2: Improver
For those students who have done some art learning, draw or paint occasionally at home or attend an art group, and feel they need to improve beyond their grasp of the basic techniques.
Teaching focuses on core skills, understanding and use of the Art Elements + Principles, materials + techniques, with tutor-led exercises and mini projects.

Level 3: Intermediate
For those students who have learnt the basic techniques, have gained some level of artistic confidence and are seeking to develop their skills further to create more complex or larger-scale artwork.
Teaching focuses on developing art skills, creative techniques and individual styles, students’ ability to self-assess their work, encouraging experimentation, with tutor-led exercises and time for extended projects with the benefit of group critiques.

Level 4: Experienced
For those students 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. 
Teaching focuses on guiding students in developing their own ideas and self-directed practice, through enhancing personal skills and techniques and encouraging a deeper contextual awareness with the benefit of one-to-one tutorials.

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.

1. 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 (eg: Level 1, Level 2, or mixed ability).
