TEACHING ETHOS
I tutor students studying in year 7 - year 11 (GCSE), and adult leisure artists whether absolute-beginners just picking up a pencil for the first time to adult artists preparing for their first public exhibition. My teaching focuses on supporting you to improve your observation skills, self-expression, and creativity within a wide range of styles from realistic, semi abstract, and abstract work.
My skills lie in understanding what you want to achieve in your creative projects and unlocking your potential through carefully selected creative tasks and projects, to support you to create your best work.
With over 20 years of teaching experience I have a wealth of knowledge and exciting creative projects with which to inspire and help you to flourish and achieve the level of skills you desire.
I teach a wide range of drawing, painting, mixed-media, and life drawing skills and techniques across a wide range of materials such as graphite pencil, charcoal, pastels, acrylics, mixed-media, and many others. I teach within a Modernist tradition where your self-expression and creativity is my focus.

With over 25 years teaching experience at secondary school, further and higher education, and adult leisure artists, I have developed a strong ethos around what makes effective tuition. Most importantly;

I teach with compassion, integrity, honesty, and most importantly kindness that will nurture your creative spirit and enable you to grow your skills and techniques to help you achieve your creative goals and ambitions.
Lessons are between 30 – 90 minutes depending on what you wish to accomplish, whether its technique demonstrations, creative projects, or critique of artwork that you require. This can be discussed as we make an action plan during your first session.
I offer the following expertise;
• Drawing and observational skills for accuracy + detail
• Material techniques in anything from graphite, charcoal, acrylics and beyond
