As well as six years studying art at college, (A levels plus a foundation course at Chelsea and Fine Art Degree course from Brighton), I have now been teaching art for over 25 years. Some of the time for Central Sussex College and more recently as an independent tutor in various community centres and venues in the East Grinstead and Forest Row areas.
Although I specialize in painting in oils, I have over 25 years experience in traditional portrait painting, can draw accurately with good use of tonal values, (light and shade), and with good perspective, I paint to professional standards in oils, watercolours and most other mediums, I have colour knowledge and and am able to demonstrate in most art forms which makes me a good teacher (and very modest). My teaching style is relaxed and unserious and I believe that you do not have to 'be good at art' (whatever than means) to be an artist. If you can hold a brush or pencil and make a mark with it on something - you are an artist.
I run two ART CLUBS at each week priced £14 per lesson - pay when you drop in, don't pay when you don't.
Drawing and General Art Club - All levels of ability
MONDAY's - 10.30 to 12.30 am
This course is generally aimed at people who wish to specialize in their own chosen medium. It can be anything at all including oil paintings, watercolours, acrylics, pencils, pastels etc. However, I begin each session with drawing demonstration and a project you can take up if you don't have your own project ongoing. I will help those doing their own projects as and when needed after the drawing demo.
How to Paint in Watercolours for Beginners and Beyond
MONDAY's - 1.00pm to 3.00pm. The format of the course is that I demonstrate each part of the painting in stages and after each demo the class does their own bit. I then demo again as many times as needed until the painting is completed. Demonstrating in this way means anyone of any ability can simply watch and try it out. As well as watercolour paints we also occasionally use other watercolour mediums such as acrylic inks and powders. See examples of the watercolour paintings I demonstrate HERE
Tea, coffee, brilliant tuition and silly banter included. Limited spaces are available so please contact me to tell me what you need.
Venue: Wealden House, (next to Brambletye Shool), Lewes Rd, East Grinstead RH19 3TB

DRAWING WORKSHOPS and OIL PAINTING WORKSHOPS
From time to time, I also do day workshops in drawing or oil painting. Please contact me if you would like like to be added to my mailing information list for these.
Note that I sell the watercolours I paint during art class demonstrations via my ETSY STORE. All money raised goes to causes I support such as DRUG-FREE-WORLD
