A lovely busy workshop with fantastic results - landscape with a dynamic foreground reference.

I asked my students to choose a landscape image from which to make an initially simple structured drawing. Then they cut out large tree images and tested them against their landscape to see how and where they sat best. From this they made a drawing which amalgamated both the landscape and the tree as a dynamic foreground reference. The results are fabulous.


Some of my students bring their own great ideas from home to work from.

About this site...
 
I am an art teacher living and working in Dorset.  I have taught for the Adult Education Service and the University of Bath, plus some supply teaching in my local schools but now I run my courses privately. This site is intended as an addition to my teaching, primarily now to showcase the Sunday workshops I run.
 
All lessons are also available for any one anywhere who would like some ideas on what to teach, what to learn or is just interested in seeing what we do.
 
I'm afraid I won't be able to answer emails asking for comments on anyone's work (other than for currently enrolled students).
 
I run Sunday workshops, one every month and a short summer school.. Other than that I spend every available moment in my studio or drawing and painting elsewhere.
 
I studied for four years at The Slade School of Fine Art where I was awarded The Slade Prize on graduation. I went on to travel and study further finally doing a P.G.C.E at Exeter University with Ted Wragg as my mentor. It was a wonderful year of education which set me in good stead for my years of teaching since then.
