My Goal
I designed this ongoing programme to accommodate your schedule and provide a structured approach to learning the art of painting, with a focus on creating powerful works. The programme focuses on acrylic techniques, but the concepts of colour theory, elements, and structures can be applied to any medium. Instead of simply copying my style, I encourage students to cultivate their own unique approach and break the rules once they have mastered the fundamentals. With over a decade of experience teaching both in-person and online, I have a deep understanding of the common challenges students face and have developed effective strategies for overcoming them.
As a teacher, I believe that teaching students to create powerful paintings can have a profound impact on their personal and academic growth. Through the process of painting, students can develop critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and a greater appreciation for the arts. Moreover, the act of creating art can provide students with a sense of accomplishment and boost their confidence. Additionally, students who are exposed to the world of painting are able to develop their own unique style and vision, which can serve as a form of self-expression. By providing students with the tools and skills they need to create powerful paintings, I aim to foster their creativity and help them grow as individuals.

What Makes Us Different?
Students appreciate my art school for a variety of reasons, including:
- A personalised approach to learning, where each student can explore their own style and journey in painting. I work with students who want to become abstract painters and those who prefer realism, teaching them the foundation for creating great art, not just paintings.
- Monthly workshops that cater to both beginners and more experienced artists who want to improve their skills and fill in gaps.
- Ongoing structure and support in their work, rather than a one-time course.
- Benefit from my 20+ years of painting experience.
- Avoid wasting time and effort on unsuccessful paintings by understanding the principles behind them.
- Learn how to go beyond simple color matching to enhance your paintings.
- Save money on art education, books, and courses as everything is in one place.
- Structured assignments that provide accountability and help students track their progress.
- A flexible monthly program with no long-term contracts or commitments, allowing you to leave whenever you wish.
