‘A supportive group where you will learn truly effective skills’

My classes are designed to stimulate and promote a feel good factor for all students. These classes are fun and enlightening in a spacious, relaxed and creative atmosphere.

I demonstrate and teach different techniques to help students establish their own methods of drawing. Palette work helps confidence when colour mixing and individual styles begin to emerge.

If you have a portable easel, table easel or otherwise please bring it if you can. I will bring boards and easels too. There are chairs for those who would rather sit. I will bring some still life objects for visual inspiration when inside.

These are guided classes, there will always be a theme, I am well versed in many mediums and can help if there is specific guidance you are looking for.

Bring photographs if you would like to work on your own project, I can help you navigate a photograph teaching you how to see perspective so you can recreate feeling and atmosphere effectively from an image..
