Tuition

My watercolour classes are suitable for both beginners and improvers, covering all the basic watercolour techniques. A key requirement is that everyone enjoys the class with maximum participation and plenty of painting.

My committment to each member of the class is to help them reach their personal goals.

    Future Tuition:
  • Mike
 

Biography

I was born 1945 in Kensington, London. Since then I've lived in Manchester, Knightsbridge, Shepperton, Clapham, Essex and Southampton. Mainly self taught I attended art classes in Battersea and Clapham in the 60's where, drawing inspiration from works by Tenniel, Leech and Doré, I produced pen and ink drawings which sold through outlets in South London. For the last ten years I have specialised in acrylics & watercolours of fantasy subjects. My paintings open windows for me to see strange places, amazing characters and creatures. If they fire your imagination too then I am delighted.
