Courses
Weekly classes 2018
About the classes
I try to tailor things to the individual, so classes are not formally structured. However, most weeks I will give a short demonstration of a technique or an approach I’ve found useful, or have just been experimenting with, or will bring in something I’m working on to show how things progress. This year, along with some basics, I’m planning some wee demonstrations on shadow colours, increasing contrast using neutrals, loose sketching for warming up and composition planning, and techniques and tools for manipulating scale. Most of your time will be given to drawing and painting, and I will provide a variety of subjects every week to inspire you.
Venue
This year I’m moving venue for the sake of some more elbow room. It’s a bright room with good access and facilities (tea and coffee to hand, hugely important), and is still close to the M74 motorway. It is also a 5 – 10 minute walk from Larkhall train station, which is on a direct line from Glasgow (half an hour away).

Cancellations and refunds
If you find yourself unable to attend the course, I will refund the full amount provided you let me know at least 2 weeks in advance of the start of the block.
If for any reason I have to cancel a class, I will refund that day’s fees, and will do my best to let you know well in advance to save unnecessary travelling (this hasn’t happened yet, but I like to have a plan in place in case it ever does, the snow had us trapped for a week this year!).
