Frequently Asked Questions

• Do you teach children?
  No and Yes! No I don't have patience to deal with children who want to be entertained! Yes I tutor children who are already showing signs that they have a gift for drawing and painting and are eager to learn more.
   
• Do you have a beginner's class?
  No. I believe that mixed ability classes work better for the individual and the group. Once a beginner, always a beginner! We are all on a path of discovery, some have been on that path for a long time and have taken wrong turnings, others have only just begun and found that they are ahead.
   
• When do your courses start?
  My courses have no beginning and no end! They run permanently, breaking for summer, and Christmas. Pupils come and go, spaces permitting. I have a waiting list if classes are full. Pupils have to make a commitment once they have started. If they miss two classes without letting me know, I will ring them and ask if they still want their place and if not offer it to the person at the top of the list.
   
• What do I need to bring to the Class?
  Absolutely nothing! Just yourself and your enthusiam! Oh! and your fee of course. The rest is provided for. I have internet access, a printer and a well stocked library of Art Books for your reference material. Canvases can be bought from the Studio, but your first canvas is FREE.
   
• Can I have a private lesson?
  You can of course, but it is more expensive that way. I charge £50 per 2 hour session and you have my undivided attention. This is more suitable for pupils who are nervous about making mistakes or feeling exposed. It is a really safe environment for discovering your hidden talent!
