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
These courses are for anyone wishing to receive individual guidance in order to develop a creative practice or to deepen an existing one.  We will explore drawing, painting, mixed media, abstract and/or figurative work. If you are not sure which art form to choose, yet you feel a creative seed within you, this course is also for you!  Through a series of one-to-one conversations and self-development tools you will build confidence in sustaining a regular practice.  A short interview (Skype, WhatsApp or phone) may be necessary beforehand to assess that it is the right course for you. Read through the different options and click on the 'booking' link to enroll.  Sessions are best taken weekly, but if necessary fortnightly. Dates will be agreed with each student prior to the start.
Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.  I look forward to working with you and see you reach new horizons with your art!
