Classes and Courses

“Just a line to say a huge, heartfelt thank you to you for bringing such hope and joy on this wintery, windswept evening! Peter's wonderfully inspiring still life classes have ignited my creativity and the lessons themselves have been so interesting, fun and absorbing...I have loved every minute! I am learning so much from the good, the bad and the ugly of my own versions. I can't get enough and have just signed up for more. Your website is so enticing and the effort put into every detail of the practicalities is so appreciated.” Annie

“I think the courses have been life savers during the extended lock-down times. Peter is amazing and so enthusiastic sharing his tips and knowledge with course members. I have learnt a lot and am looking forward to our last challenge on Friday morning.” Mary

“Of all the courses I have done these last few years, yours is by-far the best experience for me. Your course is the richest in technical information and it is much easier to process your teaching and put it into practice. It is quite a game-changer for me. It is probably unfair of me to compare your to other courses, because they are all very different but I do finish every session with you feeling rather empowered because of the teaching and I always am eager to try out the techniques I am learning.” Helen

“Many thanks for a fabulous 6 weeks of painting portraits, I have never experienced such excellent teaching and wonderful demonstrations. I am looking forward to your next courses. Thank you for putting together such a great course and for your dedication to teaching and showing great patience with your students and also for sharing your expertise and tips. It has been a real journey through painting.” Claire

“People were amazed at what you achieved in just two hours, and if you could send the finished portrait to me to show to members that would be good. It was fascinating to watch the portrait from a blank page to the final likeness, and to hear your commentary on the techniques and colours you were using. Thank you for such an enjoyable and informative evening.” Yvonne

“I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Winter Wednesday's course. Not only have I learnt so much but, together with your teaching on the Impressionists course, you have given me back the joy of painting; now I look forward to applying paint instead of worrying about how I'm going to get the detail exactly right. This has been a fabulous course which has pushed me out of my comfort zone and opened the door to new techniques which can be applied to other genre. You are a gifted artist and teacher. Very handy notes too and the speed and efficiency of Kimberley in getting the information out to us is also much appreciated.” Dani

“Thank you so much for a superb course on colour mixing; I’ve learnt so much and feel more confident. You are very good at explaining and giving artists’ examples of what you mean which has helped me to understand the fundamental basics that are so important when painting.” Sue

“I can’t tell you show much l have enjoyed your classes. I really enjoy learning about some of the great artists and seeing how they applied paint too. I have never had any formal art training so it is enlightening for me! I feel l have learned such a lot and hopefully once l practice more l will be able to really use what l have learned & incorporate it into my work.” Lisa
