I am Rachel, a trained illustrator who's been drawing and painting for over 40 years. I love painting nature particularly, in line and colour, and regularly paint commissions which mean I've had to draw all sorts of things! I believe artistic expression is possible for everyone, and a wonderful therapy. My teaching is informal, and hopefully fun, but I am committed to you being able to leave with the ability to keep practising and improving. I also offer one to one lessons, weekday & evenings.
"Myself and a friend spent a wonderful afternoon with Rachel in her studio. She was very generous with her time, advice and help and was very encouraging. She offered a lovely balance of advice and tips, as well as showing us how to tweak or correct bits and have us both the confidence to have a go ourselves at home. It was also a very relaxing experience and time just flew!
As completely beginners it was lovely to walk away with paintings we were proud of."
Watercolour and drawing responded:
"Thankyou both! It was a pleasure to warch you both quickly grasp the beauty of simple watercolour techniques, and realise that with a bit of practice the sky's the limit!
"
"The session was great. A few new tips I have now learnt and a lovely afternoon painting.
The pricing was just great and being able to have 1:1 tuition for the cost is a really good deal."
"A wonderful experience with an accomplished watercolourist. Rachel was welcoming and knowledgeable; enabling the learner and sharing her joy of art. Her garden studio provided the perfect space to explore techniques and gain confidence. "
Watercolour and drawing responded:
"Thankyou Clare, it was lovely to meet you and paint together...I hope you are proud of your finished piece!"
"Highly recommended - well paced and instructive with great pieces of practical work and very helpful gentle guidance. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. I will definitely be rebooking for more ! "
