Colour mixing in the future has been made a lot easier. Gary L Colour is so amazing and enigmatic I always look forward to teaching this beginners course to colour mixing. It always amazes me how little colour theory is taught in schools and colleges, yet is so important in enabling artists to create their […]
“Challenging but immensely rewarding.” Joe H We enjoyed a lovely weekend focusing on detail and structure. This course is always quieter and calmer than some of my other courses as more time is needed for focused concentration to achieve the high level of detail that is required to draw realistically. With a small group I […]
“I learnt some good techniques – more than expected. Very enjoyable! Karen P Every course I teach has its own studio dynamics and this Realistic drawing course always creates a quiet focused studio. Critical observation when aiming for high accuracy takes concentration and quiet and I love this mood as it descends over the studio. […]
“Absorbing, well-paced, great group. [I have learned about] Hue, Tone, Chroma and the Twin-Primary Colour Wheel (ace!!) Lesley C It was great to teach my colour workshop again. Colour is a tricky thing to teach but I love it when the ‘penny drops’ for students and they suddenly understand colour as a dynamic, shifting, emotional, and personal phenomenon. Although theory is useful (I try […]
“Wonderful experience. Loved every minute of it. I look forward to attending more courses in the future.” Hannah F A great course to teach that supports students in gaining the skills to observe objects more accurately and really understand the form and structure in order to render objects more accurately and realistically. Loads of techniques […]
“Do it! I’ve learnt how to look and measure. Confidence.” Ruth C I love teaching this course and was overjoyed to have 10 willing students along for the ride! The most amazing thing about this course is how it teaches students to improve their looking and seeing with a logical approach to drawing and a […]
“Very enjoyable and well-structured with a stimulating and enjoyable sequence of activities.” Bernie M I thoroughly enjoyed teaching this weekend. I think both I and the students were so happy to be out after all the recent Covid lockdown restrictions. Students seemed to arrive with a burst of energy and a flourish of creativity. The […]
“[My highlight was] experimenting with ink + mixed media, watercolour, etc” Chrissy D Another Covid course with just 2 students able to attend due to many needing to self-isolate. Feel determined to continue teaching my courses so no-one looses out on the courses they have booked. I’m getting used to this now and am enjoying […]
“A wonderful journey through the basics of drawing with a pencil to discovering more expressive ways to draw with different materials and styles. The future looks very exciting with these new skills to explore.” Tom P The Creative drawing: introduction course over 4 x Monday mornings with a great group of students all eager to […]
I have learnt to be open to new techniques. Keep trying new things. Jude N I thoroughly enjoyed teaching the Creative drawing: introduction course this weekend. This course gives students the opportunity to reinforce the drawing skills taught on the beginner’s course and develop their drawing skills further towards personal expression and creativity. Again, it […]
I feel inspired and much more confident in my abilities.” Alisa O On a wonderful weekend in early October I taught another Creative Drawing: introduction course. Yet again, I was not disappointed with how the students engaged in the exercises, techniques, experimentation, and pushed themselves when drawing their final piece of the weekend. Victoria called […]
