To succeed in Fine Art, we need to open our ways of thinking. Oftentimes, we can feel stuck, lost or uninspired. In this class, I will teach you how to move forward in these moments; how to produce a healthy momentum in yourself to find excitement in your projects and push through them to the finishing point.

Fine Art is unlike any subject in that it really comes from the individual. There is no "right way", but if there is no discernible path, where do we go? I can show you how to tap into your inner artist and create and move through projects with a self-direction that will build your confidence, ignite passion and open unlimited ways to express yourself regardless of technical ability.

Is there a project you are currently working on that you are stuck with? Are you feeling uninspired in your art journey and want some new life injected into it? Is your confidence in your abilities low? Do you feel you are wasting your time with art but you really love it when you are doing it? Are you studying and repeatedly getting similar feedback/marks but are unsure how to take it to the next level? I can help you.
Extra information
Bring a project you are working on, or a problem that you are stuck with. Or, if the issue is more general, bring a bunch of work for me to look at to assess where you are.

About Me
I am a practicing fine artist who specialises in experimental filmmaking. I work in analogue film techniques, using celluloid film, projectors and film labs to process my images.

I discovered my talent over 10 years ago and showed a natural aptitude for the art-making process. I thrived in the experimentation phases where you are encouraged to try different things in your project, different ways to achieve the outcome you want, and to make selections from there to get the best work/result out of your ideas.

I gain a lot of joy from this process and can help others to counteract any frustrations, impatience or demoralisation they may face in a subject that is quite hard to know how to 'get right'. The fact is, there is no right way, especially when it comes to gaining the grades/marks that you want, however, there is a way to get the best work out of yourself to then impress others with your projects. That is what I can help you with.

You should come away from my classes feeling supported, confident, excited and inspired to keep going with your art journey or project. I will aim to take away that lost and confused sensation that can often come with trying your best but not getting the result you want or expected, particularly when it comes to Art and Design mark schemes in the UK. It's hard to know what they are looking for, but I can help you to understand that without compromising the joy of the subject for you.

I am an oil pastel lover who turns to this medium again and again — when I’m happy, tired, bored, overwhelmed, or simply longing to be surrounded by colour. Oil pastels have accompanied me through many moments of life, always offering comfort, freedom, and expression.

Every time I paint with oil pastels, I find a sense of relaxation and inner peace — something increasingly precious in our fast-paced world.

Oil pastels are, to me, a truly magical material. They can be firm or soft, bold or delicate, layered or blended. With just your hands and simple tools, they invite both control and spontaneity, making them perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike.

In an age where AI can generate endless images, I believe deeply in preserving the human act of creation — the joy of touching materials, playing with colour, and allowing emotions to flow through the hands. Painting is not just about making images; it is about reconnecting with ourselves.

I believe everyone has the ability to create art. Everyone has their own sense of colour, rhythm, and expression.

**** What you will learn in this class ****
🖼️ Essential oil pastel techniques (layering, blending, texture, and composition)

🎨 Colour combinations and how to develop your own colour language

🖌️ Creative approaches to painting freely and intuitively

🧘 How to use painting and colour as a tool for relaxation, emotional release, and self-care

This class is suitable for beginners and intermediate learners. No prior art experience is required — only curiosity and openness!

**** Materials ****
In-person sessions: All materials are provided, including oil pastels, paper, masking tape, and palette knives. Just bring yourself.
Online sessions: Materials are not provided, but I will guide you in advance on what to prepare and how to use simple and accessible supplies.

In our sessions, we don’t just paint — we explore, connect, and gently listen to our inner world.

I look forward to sharing this colourful, calming, and meaningful journey with you!
