Art Classes

I have been teaching painting and drawing classes for over 20 years. I teach drawing and observation skills in pencil, charcoal, pen and pastel pencil. The painting classes I run are mainly in watercolour but I am able to teach techniques in acrylic, oil and pastel too. My main area of interest is in painting wildlife and nature but cover subjects like portraits, still life, figures, perspective etc. Whatever the subject or medium I believe that observation of shape tone and a grasp of technique are equally relevant.
