Creative Art Courses

I found the Essential Drawing Foundations course quite challenging, especially in the first couple of weeks, but I thoroughly enjoyed the process and the obvious enthusiasm of Brian. It was great to learn to approach drawing in a different way, and I recommend the course to anyone seeking to gain greater understanding of the artistic process and improve their mark making.

Brian's excellent introduction to drawing and painting was from the outset thoroughly enjoyable, challenging and inspiring. His friendly, professional approach and his obvious desire for us to enjoy ourselves whilst exploring the creative process was clear throughout. His skill at keeping us engaged the whole weekend was very impressive and I loved the whole experience. I'd highly recommend Brian's courses and will be booking another one for myself in the future.

The 30th and 31st October, 2021, Creative Drawing Level 2 Course was a wonderfully inspiring and fruitful experience. As usual, Brian had planned our activities meticulously, so that each individual in the group, all coming from very different art backgrounds, could learn and develop in their own way and explore different creative ways of using materials and, as usual, his studio was a very welcoming and friendly environment to learn in. He encouraged us to move away from a representational approach, to become more expressive, and to start creating a more personalised imagery. He gave us visual thinking techniques, allowing us to play with the Art Elements and experiment with materials, to become more open to their possibilities. We learned how the picture-making could evolve as we became more flexible in our approach to composition. It was liberating to be given permission to welcome the 'unexpected'. The whole experience was a delight and I'd like to thank Brian for taking us along this wonderful creative art journey. Thank you. Sue M.
