Painting course
Just got back from teaching oil painting at Villa Gokcebel in Turkey..... A fantastic time was had and some really good work was produced by 6 complete novices! I shall post pics later, but suffice it to say that I believe everyone can learn to paint and draw really well, with the right encouragement and a few golden rules to follow, although there are no rights or wrongs in painting! That's what gives each artist his own language. I was so proud of my pupils, they were all up and at the canvases before breakfast and worked tirelessly all day! It's also fascinating how each persons character was so clearly visible in their results! That was something that took me by surprise, as I thought I would see a lot of similar work....not a bit of it! There will be another course running soon, and I may do a 4 or 5 day life painting course from a model, run at my studio in Somerset. And Andalusia in Spring, but I will post more details shortly...

Teaching
Am teaching oil painting techniques to beginners and intermediates. This will be the first of many at different locations, but always with a bit of luxury! Check out the news in the following website to see what to expect... http://www.villagokcebel.com
If you are interested in the future, let me know and I will be sure to add you to our mailing list. My motto is that an artist doesn't necessarily have to suffer in the pursuit of art.... you can also do it in great comfort! Will post how we get on and pics
