The painting classes are 2 hours long in a very relaxed atmosphere with full personal tuition. We cover a range of topics from free flowing watercolour to expressive acrylic and striking pastels with a chance to practice your drawing skills and learn new techniques whilst studying individual artists.

 

During August I teach Life Studies at Marlborough Summer School.
