Art Workshops & Classes

Train in all fundamental skills first, because you cannot add what you don't know but leave what you do

Every person can learn to draw and paint, every person. To start well, however, it is essential to begin with a solid fundamental base of realistic drawing and painting skills. Classes are structured so that even total beginners feel comfortable. Session are conducted in an easy to understand fashion, yet are packed with valuable information. 

You can dismiss what you have learned, but you cannot add skills you don't have. Everyone can learn to draw and paint. No matter how humble your beginnings, with high-quality instructions and plenty of support while learning, you will improve significantly.
There are NO further classes of mine than those listed here!!

At the end of each term, students can decide to stay on. If places become available, they will be published a couple of weeks before commencement.
