Tuition

I do illustrated talks to art societies and clubs, bringing along a range of original work, prints and cards. I take just over half an hour talking about the inspiration for the work, points of composition and allied topics. After a break where people can get up close and personal to the paintings I do an hour to an hour and half painting demonstration taking questions and comments as I go.

In 2013 I am holding day watercolour workshops in my studio/gallery for 4 students at a time specialising in beachscapes, skies, reflections, trees, general landscape and birds. The cost will be £55/day per artist including a light lunch.
