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. Our training sessions are designed to be easy to comprehend and to offer a wealth of worthwhile content.

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!!

If you are a complete beginner, I will walk you through the fundamentals of sketching and painting while customising the sessions to meet your individual needs. For those who are more advanced, you can pick your subjects, media, and styles, and I will guide you through the process. 

Once enrolled, you are free to stay as long as you want. You choose what you want to do, and I assist you in achieving it. All you need to bring are your personal painting supplies, such as brushes and paints. We supply easels.

If places become available, they will be published a couple of weeks before commencement. These all media classes usually run over the course of 5 weeks followed by a two-week break. Tuition is given in drawing with pencils, colour pencils, painting in oil or watercolour. I am specialised in realistic painting of any kind and portrait painting, as well as commercial illustration.
