Tuition

I do enjoy teaching as I believe that painting is for everyone, not just for those who have ‘talent’ – whatever that is.   Drawing and painting can be taught and connect you to the landscape in a way that taking photos fails to do.

I’m not teaching at Adult Education centres at the moment, but I am available for hire if you want some private tuition, or fancy getting together with a group of friends for a half day tuition to get you started or give you pointers on how to move on.  I’m good at getting people ‘unstuck’ – it can often be something as simple as the way you hold your brush or the consistency of the paint.  It’s not scary,  honest – it’s  fun.  Really.  Especially if you let yourself experiment and ‘play’ a bit, rather than think that because you’re a grown up you have to produce a perfect picture every time!

Why not treat yourself or your friends to some tuition?  Gift vouchers for a day or half day session can be tailored to whatever you need.

Meanwhile, if you’re trying to learn on your own, the secret is not to beat yourself up when you get it wrong but try and work out  where it went wrong.  Hopefully this might help….
