As a practising artist I design and deliver workshops and courses in a variety of fine art disciplines. My teaching centres on drawing, painting and printmaking, with an emphasis on drawing from observation as a starting point and the facilitation of individual practice through group learning. My particular areas of interest are the natural world, drawing and painting 'en plein air', expressive drawing techniques, experimental printmaking processes, monotype printmaking and working with colour.
My experience covers a range of art tuition from one-to-one tutorials to group sessions tailored for adults.
Individual sessions are offered from my studio in Leith, Edinburgh or online at the rate of £60 - £75 per hour. I would recommend that you plan for at least four sessions to ensure development. Participants are expected to bring work in progress to be discussed one-to-one. Guidance will be given to assist each student to reach their full potential and topics covered may include
keeping a successful sketchbook
translating observed sketches into finished works
how to develop studio work through materials and processes
formal development of drawings and paintings
researching and developing a line of enquiry
Get in touch to book a session or for details about day rates and group rates.
All sessions take place at Coburg House Art Studios, 15 Coburg Street, Edinburgh, EH6 6ET or online.
Specific areas of my teaching specialisms include the following:
expressive drawing techniques
experimental printmaking with and without a press
drawing and printmaking as processes for developing ideas in paint
exploring colour in the natural world
personal visual responses to the natural world
