Lee Wright Artist reviews

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. "

"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. "

"14th March - Excellent course in a beautiful part of the UK. Lee was warm and supportive and ensured excellent prints from all attendees. The art studio was a great place with interesting corners and I loved my two nights in the Brecons!"

"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!"

"I had such a lovely time learning the basics of Lino Printing with Lee. I had never done any printing before and Lee was so patient, giving us all the guidance and help we needed.

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!"

Lee Wright Artist responded:

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

"Had a really enjoyable day learning the technique of lino printing and was really pleased with my efforts! Lee is a great teacher and employed just the right amount of attention and intervention if needed. Would really recommend this for a beginner like me.

Lee is not only very friendly and welcoming, but teaches the lino-cut course for beginners like me with very clear guidance and instruction, and lots of ideas from how own experience to help you achieve the tricky landscape you brought along! Highly recommended, and if you want a fun, interesting and creative day, don't hesitate!"

"Venue great for me......within walking distance! Lee was very helpful in guiding through the mysteries of lino-cut printing, and I was pleased with the results ( for a first attempt ) An enjoyable day that flew by."

Jane Turner reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"I went on a one day lino printing course with Lee as a total beginner and loved the whole day. Lee was well organised and the venue and materials were perfect for the activity. He gave us clear instruction in a relaxed and friendly way. I was surprised at how much could be achieved in the time available and I would definitely like to do another of Lee's courses in the future 😀"

Angela Clarke reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"This was an excellent course. Leigh taught us techniques for reduction lino- printing , including colour mixing skills, in order to produce a print that I was very pleased with at the end of the day. Friendly, relaxed & informative day."

Linda Peters reviewed: Portrait Paintings in Oils

"I thoroughly enjoyed Lee’s oil painting course and learned so much! The canvas Lee provided was luxurious, (he makes them himself) a pleasure to paint on. Lee is a brilliant teacher, has a natural ability in explaining techniques etc. I never thought I could learn so much about painting a portrait in oils in such a short time space. Another important thing for me is confidence; I arrived with no confidence in my ability as a portrait painter at all. Because of Lee’s teaching skills, I now feel confident in my ability moving forward. I found it exciting learning to paint using traditional methods. The academy itself is a lovely place to be. Seeing Lee & Lucy’s paintings on the wall was inspirational. The atmosphere was relaxed and our modals were amazing, thank you Dave and Bev. My fellow students were lovely too and I had a great week altogether. Will definitely attend courses in the future. Thank you Lee, thank you Academy, I highly recommend you. "

Charlotte Pountney reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"Lee is a superb teacher, kind, patient and very helpful. He tailors his advice to suit the level of skill of group members, which today ranged from experienced mono-linoprinter to complete beginners and we all took home prints that we were very pleased with. It was a real pleasure to work with quality paper and professional quality cutting tools. I will definitely be back. Thank you, Lee."

Marion Baker reviewed: Lino printing landscapes

"I really enjoyed the day. Lee is very patient and the class numbers are small so he has plenty of time to make suggestions and guide you through the techniques. I had never done anything like this before but found it is a great mix of different skills. I loved trying mixing the different colours. Thank you"
