Lee Wright Artist reviews

Job reviewed: Portrait Paintings in Oils

"Did Lee's three day oil painting course earlier in the month. My first time using this medium, it all felt very new and bewildering at first, but thanks to Lee's guidance and expert skill, I worked through my frustration and managed to produce a decent piece of art at the other end. Atmospheric old school building-turned studio set in peaceful and beautiful surroundings. Would definitely do this course again."

Chloe Black reviewed: Portrait Paintings in Oils

"Had a fantastic 3 days studying portrait painting with Lee. His patience and enthusiasm makes a wonderful learning environment. The class size was perfect to give everyone enough one-to-one time to help with their progression through the few days. I came away feeling confident, inspired and eager to return in the future for more classes. Thank you to Lee for running a great course! "

Bradley Burgess reviewed: Portrait Paintings in Oils

"I did Lee's 3 day course last week, having never used oil paints or attempted portraiture before, and I found it to be exactly what I hoped for - expert knowledge and guidance with a positive 'can do' and hands on approach. Demos and discussion were just right, so we could get painting and learning. Also a nice laid back atmosphere in a beautiful old school house. Highly recommended, thanks!"

"I have done two one day courses with Lee Wright. Both days were an absolute delight. The course was attended by three other people, each of us at the same beginner level. With a small number of people Lee was able to give close attention to each of our efforts. Very informative with all materials supplied. Lots of practical advice and help. I highly recommend Lee as a teacher. "

"Such an enjoyable day spent creating a Lino print at Lee’s studio in Cwmdu. Lee made everyone feel very welcome and gave clear instructions and plenty of encouragement throughout the day. It was lovely to have three prints to take home - these have been duly admired by friends and family! Thank you Lee."

Susan reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"This was a such a fun day learning about linocut and producing a surprisingly good outcome. Lee worked hard to make this a very relaxed program which was tailored to each person’s interests and abilities. He was positive and encouraging throughout which was reassuring to me as a total novice. The small group environment was great and in the most beautiful setting, I recommend this course, or any course with Lee very highly. "

Ginny reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"I thought this was a really good day course on lino printing. As a complete novice I didn't have any expectation of turning out a recognisable print. However with Lee's patient guidance, expertise and positive attitude this was achieved. With only 4 of us on the course there was time for lots of encouragement and help. The provision of all the materials was great, plus the follow up email of where to purchase everything was very helpful as I hope to have another go at home."

"A wonderful class. It was small enough that Lee was able to give plenty of attention to all, and he was entirely flexible in tutoring depending upon each person's experience and abilities, as well as positive and supportive. We all left with artworks we could be quite proud of. The location and venue are lovely and inspiring as well. I'm not surprised that many return to take it more than once. I'd highly recommend it."

Jenny Goddard reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"Lee was a brilliant tutor, friendly and very knowledgeable. I was a little bit intimidated attending an “art” class, but was very much out at ease. The small class size means you get lots of one to one tutoring. I had done some Lino printing before, but my knowledge of mixing colours and considering composition was very limited - this course has helped me immensely. Thanks! "

Lynfa reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"A wonderful workshop with a talented artist who judged the skills of each participant perfectly. Coupled with working from their artist studio amidst the sunny hills of the Bannau Brycheiniog it was simply perfect. Thank you for infusing me with your energy and passion. I'll be back to do more very soon. Thanks Lee. P.S. If I wanted to touch up small areas, what medium would you recommend I use on the lino print please?"

Lee Wright Artist responded:

"Thanks Lynfa, I'm glad that you enjoyed the day. So did I :) You can use coloured pencils to touch up small areas once the prints are dry, If that doesn't give you enough oomph then small amounts of paint or pen may work. "

"A really enjoyable course in a relaxed and friendly setting. Lee was very encouraging, helpful, and supportive. My wife booked this course for me as a surprise; next time it won't be a surprise but will be equally, if not more, enjoyable."

Emma Pugh reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"Another great Lino printing day with Lee. Highly recommended. Lee is a great teacher, so patient and calm. This was my second time doing this day and I loved it as much as the first. It's slowly sinking in but nothing beats having Lee there to guide and teach. Until the next time Lee! Thanks so much. "

"Brilliant course. First and foremost Lee is an outstanding artist and craftsman - his work speaks for itself. But Lee is also patient, affable, relaxed and brilliant at judging guidance for different abilities. The studio environment is any artists’ dream and the whole experience is engrossing and satisfying. I’ve just finished my second course and I will certainly be back for more. Thanks Lee!"

Georgina Rigden reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"I had the most fantastic day lino printing with Lee in his beautiful studio in the Brecon Beacons. We were a small group so Lee gave each of us personal attention to guide us through the process. We each created a3 prints in a day and I think we were all blown away by what we achieved, whilst having so much fun. I can’t wait for the next time!"

"Thank you Georgina. Great to meet you and well done with your lovely print :)"
