teaching * visual art practice 〰️
This page details my private teaching sessions. I offer individual and group sessions, both online (worldwide) and in person (London).
I’ve taught in higher education for 10 years, starting in 19th century drawing and painting and moving into contemporary fine art practice. I am currently the Fine Art BA First Year Lead at City & Guilds of London Art School, where I have taught on the BA & MA since 2019.
If you have any questions about these sessions, or if you are interested but don’t feel you can afford the price stated, then please get in touch for sliding scale options.

90 mins | Online (worldwide) | In Person (London) | £75 per hour
1-on-1 sessions are catered to you. It could simply be that you want another pair of eyes on your work, or it may be that you’re working through a specific tension between your conceptual and material development.
Examples of areas that we could focus on are:
- critical and technical development
- conceptual and theoretic development
- studio and time management
- curation and exhibition planning
- specialised drawing and painting techniques
I always recommend a 90 minute session so we can get to the core of your questioning. A typical 90 minute structure looks like:
- 30 minute introduction to the work
- 40 minute discussion around material, conceptual and research development
- 20 minute practical planning toward the development
If you would like an in person session then I can travel to you or you are welcome to visit me at Thames Side Studios in Woolwich.

Learn technical drawing in an accessible online class.
AUTUMN TERM : PROPORTION USING SHAPE AND VALUE
When we look out at the world, we see a series of values, colours and shapes. However, we are often taught to draw using line rather than value, creating a disconnect between how we see and how we draw.
Beginning on October 14th, we’ll meet every other week to explore drawing using shape and value, creating a drawing practice that relates to how we actually see. Throughout the five weeks you will learn to find proportion using shape instead of line, this technique will encourage you to conceive of the whole image at once, instead of getting distracted by smaller details.
Once we have successfully found our larger proportions through focussing on the light and dark values, we will add mid tone values to create form, and then work toward a focal point.
Week One, 14/10: finding proportion using shape and value instead of using line
Week Two, 28/10: finding proportion using a flat, light value and increasing to full value
Week Three, 11/11: finding proportion using a full value and finding form with mid tone values
Week Four, 25/11: (1/2) finding proportion using a full value and finding form with mid tone values
Week Five, 9/12: (2/2) finding form with mid tone and light values, and creating a focal point
WEDNESDAYS | EVERY OTHER WEEK | ONLINE | 6-8PM
