Do you feel unsure of how to develop your own painting technique and style? Do you need help with colour use, composition or how to apply paint to give the appearance of a particular object or atmosphere?

In Intensive Studio Practice, I will support and guide you as you improve your painting skills and techniques. I will share my expertise in colour mixing and perspective, brush technique and mark making. I will instruct you in the use of various mediums, grounds and the essential elements of composition and design.

Using your chosen subject matter, I will give you personalised attention and individualised assistance to create the paintings you aspire to. No matter what your level or experience, you will grow in confidence and ability to create paintings as you connect with like-minded and interesting people.

Call me with any questions you may have, I’d love to chat with you, ph. 0432 922 653

•    Approach your subject matter creatively and thoughtfully to plan a painting
