I've had nearly 40 years experience in teaching art, and have been a fulltime professional artist for over 20 years.
I share everything I know about drawing and painting - the techniques, the processes and stages of painting, the 'rules' or guidelines to creating really good paintings. I've often been asked "How come you share everything, most tutors hold back their 'secrets', aren't you afraid?" - I say "Because I've probably 30 years more experience than you have, and maybe thousands of paintings more created, so you'll have a long way to catch up on me!"
So - I share everything I can with you, as appropriate to your level of experience so you get the most from my teaching.
I use teaching and demonstrations, but with an emphasis on my students actively drawing and painting when I give them one-to-one advice. And I try to do it in an informal, supportive, encouraging and enjoyable atmosphere where everyone feels at ease.
I want my students to leave the workshop enthused, encouraged and feeling much more in charge of how to approach your painting.
And having had a really enjoyable experience!
