Classes, Workshops & Demonstrations

Would you like to set free your creativity?

I absolutely love to paint and nothing gives me greater joy than passing on this ability to others. Learn to paint in a day…. yes, it is possible and no painting experience is required.  I teach both the Bob Ross wet-on-wet oils and acrylic as well as adding inks, moulding pastes and gessos into the mix at times too to add texture, depth and colour.

I would say 70% of art students who come for lessons have never painted or picked up a brush. We go through the whole day step-by-step completing a landscape/flower scene by the end of it, leaving plenty of space for you to develop your own ideas as you wish.  Of course, I also teach those who have more experience and wish to develop their skills.  The tuition is fun, informal and supportive. Although we travel through the process one step at a time, there is the opportunity to paint whatever one wishes. It is simply a starting point for people to develop their own style and come up with alternative ideas.

There are plenty of classes and workshops available ranging from a day to two and a half hours. What is the difference between the two? The size of canvas, the detail accomplished and the price.  Classes are also readily available for families with their children.  In addition, I welcome teaching classes to the Corporate Sector and will happily travel to encourage team building, mental health & well-being and an all round bit of light relief and fun.   Please contact me directly to chat further about any of these options.

Series of Classes

Why not come and take part in a set of weekly classes.  Whilst learning that you can indeed paint and/or improve on existing skills, you will meet new people, and together you will be taken on a journey as we hone our skills and paint a variety of landscape and floral scenes.     

Individual Tuition

Sometimes the best way to start is on a one-to-one basis, where you will receive full attention in a comfortable environment aimed at building your confidence, or maybe you would like to master a particular aspect of painting, such as clouds or bushes and improve your own technique. Whatever the reason, I will make sure that the tuition meets your aims and requirements.

ClassesGroups

Groups

Working in a group can be a lot of fun as everyone soon realises they are in the same boat. The support and rapport with others can be invaluable. Groups are of a size to ensure individual attention.

Remember, classes are readily available for families with their children – a great activity during the holidays, especially if it is raining!

In addition, I happily travel to those organisations/companies in the corporate sector who are looking to encourage team building, mental health & well being adding in a dash of humour to the day’s proceedings.

ClassesDemonstrations

Demonstrations

I am available for demonstrations ranging from 30minutes to several hours and have demonstrated to a wide range of groups and organisations. These have included Women’s Institutes, Farmers’ Wives Organisations and Art Groups.

Demonstrations have ranged from 8 participants in a local group to hundreds in London events. I have found that once people have seen a demonstration and the ease with which a painting can be produced, they too become keen to give it a go. For demonstrations, please contact me to discuss further.
