During my early years as a painter I attended many art classes where groups of adult painters would congregate in a sterile room or a cold village hall. Usually instructed to all paint the same subject, or ‘follow me’ classes led by someone thinking that everyone there will be able to keep up with them, and produce satisfactory paintings in two or three hours. I wanted to something different to that, to teach artists to paint in their own style and technique.
