From Our Students

I joined this group with low expectations, as I had no training in art (drawing or painting).

After three, six week sessions, I still cannot call myself an artist, however I have found a confidence I never thought I would have. I have learned so much under Patricia’s tuition. From colour mixing to producing a painting that a few weeks ago I would have thought impossible.

If you want to paint but think you can’t, get in touch with Patricia, she will help you unlock your artist potential.

- Kate McKeown

As someone with no knowledge or experience of watercolour painting I tentatively joined Patrica’s art group through Zoom. She makes everyone feel at ease and her teaching background allows her to develop experienced and novice artists like myself. I enjoy the classes and the other participants a great deal and look forward to face to face workshops.
