Autumn Art Classes

Starts Monday 21st September 2009 and will run for 12 weeks
.

Evening classes every Monday and Tuesday from 7pm to 9pm.
Afternoon classes run on Tuesday from 2pm to 4pm.


Both absolute beginners and experienced welcome. The course
is very informal, mixing fun and social enjoyment with art
education. Tutoring can cover watercolour techniques, oil painting, acrylic painting, and pastels, in all subjects.
The classes are held in John's studio in Dundee.
All students canl have one of their paintings published on the internet, on special exhibition pages on John's website.

Private Art Lessons

One to one tuition can be arranged to suit those who desire a more intensive approach to improving their artistic abilities.
This can range from the young student preparing a portfolio for submission for entry to an art college, the final year student ready to embrace the real art world with a new career, but needs to know about running a business, art and the internet, and the commercial side of selling art and art products, then there is the mature person wishing to learn and improve their artistic knowledge and skills so they can confidently paint to achieve a high standard of painting in the medium of their choice.
A range of lessons can be structured to individual needs, but normally John will run sessions of two hours with a fee of £30 per hour. John is quite flexible on time of day or evening.

Internet Art Tuition
It is also quite feasable to run tuition by email on the internet for those distant students too far away to travel to Dundee.
John will appraise your artwork and structure tuition to meet individual needs. Fee is again £30 per hour for usually a two hour session, though john most often not strict with his timimg as he is not the fastest typist.
