  • Painting for Adults

    Following the extensive list of 'materials to bring' I was looking forward to being introduced to using all of them - for example I was expecting that one week I would be taught to use charcoal, and then the following week pastels etc. Instead the course was simply a time where we could copy the same photograph and the teacher would slowly come around and offer advice. The teacher rarely came to me and I spent much of the first couple of classes unsure of what I was doing, or what I was supposed to be doing. This method of hands off teaching would have been ok if that was introduced at the beginning of the first class but sadly there was no introduction at all. I arrived 5 minutes early to the first class and there was no formal introduction, I had no idea what the teachers name was, or how each week would be structured. I am very disappointed with how it went and I would not recommend this.
  • Painting for Adults

    I’d give it one star because we didn’t paint once. He taught us how to draw and color, which is not what I signed up for.
