Personalised One to One Art Tuition

I offer day long art classes in a variety of techniques at my studio near Dronfield- these are reasonably priced at £140 for the day which includes materials and lunch at the local pub.

As a very experienced artist and teacher of art and design I aim to help you discover the ‘artist in you’. Through both easy and challenging tasks you will develop your skills and try thing’s you’ve not done before.

Courses offered-

Drawing and Painting – which is generally to do with Landscape , Figure and Portrait, Still Life , Animals – using Acrylics, oils and watercolour. We sometimes look at abstract and surreal art to help stretch our imagination.

Printmaking – using block printing and etching techniques we look at the subjects mentioned above – again producing unique pieces of art.

Digital art – I can also teach high level skills using Photoshop to create imaginative illustrations from your drawings or your own photography.

Light projection; Using specialist software you will learn how to create your own motion graphics and develop skills in projection mapping.

I provide photographic resources and point you in the right direction to help you find your own. I encourage you to use sketchbooks to develop ideas and thoughts.

COVID 19 has put extra stresses on us all. We had to cancel the art group in March 2020 had live online classes via Zoom. I have also begun an extensive educational project putting Art Tutorial Videos on line (12 so far and updating each week). These are to help anyone develop skills in Drawing and Painting. Called “Hello Art!” Click on the video link below to view an example and please like and subscribe to my channel to view more.
