Cannot come to a weekly class?

All day Saturday general art classes are held 2nd Saturday of each month. 10am to 3pm. Lydiate L31 4EQ. Fee £30 per Saturday.

This general art class is for people who cannot make the weekly classes, and follows the same course content, suitable for beginners and those with limited experience wanting to improve technique and learn more styles. Once you've learned the very basics of drawing & painting, much of what you do is experimenting and learning new techniques.

 I teach you to work in a spontaneous and instinctive way, rather than copying! Which results in lifeless photographic copies. Most beginners tell me they want to paint like ‘the impressionist’. Which is the style I teach. You will be shown and encouraged to paint lose & spontaneously, following your own instinct rather than copying!

All day Sunday watercolour workshops are held 2nd Sunday of each month. Contact me for dates.

This watercolour workshop is for people wanting to improve their watercolour technique, also suitable for those with limited experience. The day will start with a simple subject, teapot and cup, so you can get used to applying watercolour. Probably doing same subject several times, but time limited to no more than a few minutes, to ensure you don’t paint tight. Doing these exercises you will discover a big difference in your work.

 The biggest problem inexperienced watercolourist face in mastering application of watercolour is they over paint and mix too many colours together. You can do this in other mediums, such as acrylics and oils, not watercolour! I teach you to use simple brush strokes, move on. Yes, do a little tweaking. I teach you to work in a spontaneous and instinctive way, rather than copying! Which results in lifeless photographic copies. Most beginners tell me they want to paint like ‘the impressionist’. Which is the style I teach. You will be shown and encouraged to paint lose & spontaneously, following your own instinct rather than copying!
