I am very pleased to be offering a new class this autumn. Building on the success of this popular course, I’ll be taking students on an even deeper exploration of oil painting and The Art Spirit. Alongside this, I’ll be teaching fundamental techniques that can truly transform your painting, including mastering proportions and colour mixing.
Through a blend of theory, hands-on practice, and personalised feedback, students will develop their skills in both drawing and painting from life. The classes are designed to be challenging, with an emphasis on progress rather than perfection. During the break and after class, there’s time to reflect and discuss work in a friendly, supportive, and non-judgmental environment.
