Student Comments

The comments below are what students feel about the Oil Painting Courses, Life Drawing Classes and Art Workshops.


"I never thought that I would ever be able to paint in oils, but with expert tuition and guidance from Martin Close I have made a 
very good start.  Martin is an outstanding teacher because he actually gets a canvas out and shows you how to do it, and 
importantly, how to recover from those inevitable mistakes.  
In my experience this is something that you won't get at most classes.  Under Martin's guidance you'll progress quickly.  
Go for it!"

Hi Martin.  Having embarked on my third Art Tutorial with you, I am so
pleased with my achievements to date, that I wanted to put this in writing to
you.  Your calm approach and teaching methods during the tutorials
has given me the confidence to be able to put paint on canvas and believe in
the paintings I have produced.



                                             







                                             
Through your expertise, artistic talent and your excellent
(and patient) teaching methods, you have succeeded in bringing out an ability
in me to paint, that I genuinely thought I never had.  I have been overwhelmed and amazed with the paintings I have
produced during the tutorials, and also with your level of knowledge and
creativeness that has inspired me to express myself through my work. 



                                             





                                             
Thanks Martin, and I look forward to continuing with the
tutorials in the future.

'I've really enjoyed the classes with Martin; having not painted in
over 10 years I was really surprised to be walking away with not one but  two
completed paintings after finishing my first basic course.  


I've
chosen to carry on with the classes, which is very economical
considering the high level of 1:1 support and quality of the tuition'.
