As an Art tutor I have over 12 years experience both in
my own Private Workshops and in Art schools and Educational Institutions. Art is about expressing an idea or a feeling not simply being able to reproduce something in meticulous detail. In order to express ourselves effectively we need skills. |
My approach combines a solid grounding in drawing and painting techniques while supporting the students self-discovery in terms of expression, subject and style. I believe this is the best way to learn and progress on our personal and unique creative journeys. |
