Art classes

Art classes are ongoing, open to all skill levels, and you can join anytime based on your availability.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, you’ll find a supportive and inspiring environment to develop your skills.

I teach a wide range of painting and drawing techniques, offering personalised guidance tailored to your skill level, style preferences, chosen subjects, and preferred mediums.

You can choose from oil, acrylic, or watercolour painting, mixed media techniques, and drawing with pencils, charcoal, oil pastels, or soft pastels. Whether you want to master a specific technique or explore a variety of artistic styles, I’ll guide you every step of the way.

The most important thing for me is that you experience the joy of creating and the satisfaction of achievement.

Art classes for adults

Art classes are designed for all skill levels and can be joined at any time throughout the year.

Each session lasts 2 hours and takes place on evenings and weekends. The schedule is flexible, you can book week to week and change the day based on your availability.

Classes are kept small, with 9 students per session, to ensure focused, personalised guidance for every participant. There’s always a relaxed ambiance, with music playing in the background as we work.

Group classes provide a welcoming, nurturing environment where all students work on their individual projects while learning together. Every student receives one-to-one instruction tailored to their skill level, chosen subject, and preferred medium.

You can explore a variety of artistic styles and techniques, working in mediums ranging from drawing (pencils, charcoal, oil pastels, soft pastels) to painting (oil, acrylic, or watercolor).

Students also have the opportunity to learn foundational skills in academic drawing and painting, while I work individually with each student to ensure they develop at their own pace and pursue their own goals.

These classes also offer the chance to become part of a supportive community of learners, where students of different skill levels can inspire and learn from one another by observing new techniques and styles in action.

If you want the extra support to work on a special art project or to focus on an in-depth exploration of an artistic technique, or, if you simply learn better on a one-to-one basis I can offer private art classes.

These art classes last 2 hours and can be scheduled based on your availability.

Artwork Storage Guidelines

I absolutely love seeing your artworks in the studio, they bring so much colour and creativity to the space!

As space is limited, I kindly ask that everyone follows a few simple guidelines to ensure there is room for everyone’s work:

·        Duration: While attending classes, your artwork may remain in the studio. If you are unable to attend for more than one month, please collect your artwork.

·        Large Canvases (over 80cm x 80cm): These can remain in the studio from week to week while you are actively working on them. Once completed, they may be stored for up to two additional weeks before collection.

·        Storage Limit: I can only store artworks for up to one month for students not attending classes. Unfortunately, I am unable to keep artworks beyond this time.

 

Thank you for your understanding and for helping make the studio such an inspiring place with your wonderful artworks!
