About the Tutor

I’ve been painting since 2003 and teaching art classes both on and offline since 2010, It has been incredibly fulfilling to witness the growth and transformation of countless students on their quest to become better painters.

I completely understand the frustrations that often accompany the process of learning to paint, as I’ve personally experienced it too. There’s an overwhelming amount of information out there, and not all of it is reliable or helpful. That’s why my mission is to make this artistic journey as seamless and enjoyable as possible for my students.

Nothing brings me more joy than being able to provide guidance and support to those embarking on their painting journey. I’m here to help you navigate through the challenges and discover your unique creative voice.

Student Feedback

"I would certainly, grade Michelle's classes as 5 stars. Her knowledge of colour and techniques is very helpful."

"I've been regularly attending artist Michelle's art class since 2015. In that time, under Michelle's experienced tutelage, all aspects of my acrylic painting have improved remarkably, and I now have very much my style."

"Michelle is an attentive and encouraging teacher. The fact that I have been attending her classes for the past nine years is a testament to that. I have also made a lovely friend."

"I have learned so much about painting from Michells’s classes. Michelle’s knowledge of colour and painting techniques have really helped me develop my practice."

I've been to lots of Michelle’s painting workshops and found them really informative and fun too she’s a great teacher, patient and encouraging, I’ve learnt a lot from her which has really helped me improve my paintings.

"Michelle has helped me a great deal in developing my art. Always supportive, she has not only taught me technique but encouraged me in trying new approaches, loosening up and exploring stylistically."

I have been attending Michelle's art classes for a number of years, she is a brilliant teacher, and I have learnt so much about paint mixing to portrait drawing. I was a complete novice when I started, but since then have gained a lot more confidence and would thoroughly recommend her classes.
