Teaching
I am a practised teacher with much experience. In my classes I concentrate on teaching traditional skills,covering Drawing, Colour, Composition and Observation
I am currently running two-weekly workshops in watercolour and in pastel. Each class lasts for three hours. Classes are kept small; a maximum of 8. The atmosphere is relaxed.
I aim to continually propose new ideas and to guide the students through a series of projects and techniques, giving frequent demonstrations. In 2010
I will also be offering classes in Oil painting and in Life drawing/painting. Classes are open to all abilities and levels of experience. The price per class is 20€

Testimonials :
Penny manages to integrate basic methods alongside creative work. She delivers key messages subtly within the context of the course rather than with a sledgehammer. Consequently, I find that I learn a great deal by doing and being guided by Penny to think about why particular approaches work or don’t work.'
'Penny is a sensitive and helpful tutor who allocates her time fairly amongst all her students'. 'As a hobbyist painter I am not always clear what my requirements are until I pick up a brush. However, Penny consistently manages to provide guidance and support without ‘taking over’. This is why the course, in my experience, works so well.'
'Penny uses her considerable talent as both artist and teacher to support her student’s and in doing so uses a generous dose of humour which makes for a very good all-round experience.'
