Testimonials:
'The exercises suggested by Marianne were enjoyable and really helped to get the best use out of the materials. She showed us a number of ways to produce quick sketches with just a few lines or shading and it was very satisfying to have a collection of small drawings to record what we had seen around us during the afternoon' - Eleanor
'I attended the open evening last Wednesday and was surprised at my first attempt. Marianne is a superb teacher, I was very happy with her teaching technique" - Kamini

COURSE FORMAT:
ABOUT ME AS YOUR TEACHER
I have been a practicing artist with a studio for 25 years. I am essentially a painter and have explored different styles from figurative to abstract. I like working in oils and charcoal, but lately I have started using more acrylics and watercolours and realised that each medium triggers a different sensibility and approach to a subject.
I have been teaching students for more than 10 years on and off in my studio, home tuition, art workshops and recently during an Indian tour of Rajasthan.
My approach is intuitive and I like to help each student to discover their own skills and potentials.
If you have never worked with me before a short interview (Skype, WhatsApp or phone) may be necessary beforehand to assess that this course is suitable for you.
Sessions are taken weekly, but if necessary fortnightly. Starting FEB 2020; dates will be agreed with each student after payment.
Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. I look forward to working with you and see you progress with your art!
- receive individual guidance in order to develop a creative practice or to deepen an existing one.
- explore drawing, painting, mixed media, abstract and/or figurative work to unleash your creativity and unique style.
- build confidence in sustaining a regular practice at home or in your studio.
- break through creative blockages or start as a total beginner.
- discover the work of contemporary artists and art movements for inspiration and style.
COURSE FORMAT:
- an initial 30 mins phone or skype conversation will take place after placing your order to address your needs, whether you are a total beginner, intermediate or a more advanced level.
- For 5 consecutive weeks you will receive an email from me proposing an exercise that will be individually chosen for your level. I will suggest either a specific technique with reference to art history or famous artists, or a theme to explore.
- Each week you will take photos of your work and email them to me or send them through WhatsApp. I will reply to you a few days later with my comments and suggestions either by email or through a recording message (to be agreed during the initial conversation)
- after the completion of the 5 weeks a meeting will be arranged in London (or through Skype) where you can show me and discuss your work in person. We will look at your progress and explore new ideas for you to carry on your practice in the future. This will be a time for reflection to understand more how your practice is supporting your inner calling as an artist, recognizing your unique style as an expression of your personality.
- if enough participants register in February 2020, I may set up an online page for you to post your work (if you wish) for the others to view and comment. It will be a private page only available to the participants.
