Classes
Online Classes via WhatsApp Tuesday and Thursday mornings 9:30am to 12:30pm
I run two regular online classes each week in rolling blocks of roughly 7 weeks at a time. The classes take place using WhatsApp groups. Students post photographs of their subject to start with and their painting or drawing as it progresses and I record feedback videos which I post back to the group. Students can watch all of the feedback videos and often find it helpful to learn from the advice from others. These groups have proved to be very popular. If you would like to join a group then please contact me using the Enquire button and I can let you know about availiablilty. The cost is £28 per session, payable in blocks. Students who have to miss a class for any reason are welcome to join the class on the alternative day.
Painting Haddon Copse Farm 2024 - 1st to 5th July or 2nd - 6th September - Booking now
This course on a small mixed Organic Farm in Dorset has become a firm favourite with students over the past few The farm is full of wild flowers, butterflies and wildlife in an idyllic location in Dorset's Blackmore Vale and excellently hosted by my very good friends Tom and Mark.
This is an outdoor painting course and as the farm is quite small it offers you the chance to draw and paint wide landscapes, closer studies of trees and water as well as the animals on the farm all within a short distance. We also have the use of a barn on the farm for dining and shelter.
Teaching takes place in groups working in the same location and individually.
Suitable for all levels of experience, my teaching takes account of your current ability and offers tuition designed to take your painting forward.
