Cliff Wright
Illustration & Watercolour Tutor

Illustration course
“Through experience and teaching I have come to realise that the true nature of drawing is not some mysterious gift bestowed upon a select few. The potential for creativity is within us all. Exercises are designed to take the fear out of drawing - especially if you are a beginner. It will also enable you to see the world around you more vividly, as if for the first time.” - Cliff Wright

Drawing is about yourself, rather than a comparison with anyone else. The workshop atmosphere is informal, light-hearted and non-competitive. There will be plenty of opportunity to receive feedback about your work and to ask questions as group numbers are kept small. Responding to your needs as they arise, the sessions run as spontaneously as possible.

Illustration & Watercolour course
Students will work through at least one watercolour painting with guidance and demonstrations of watercolour technique.

Some of the students comments after the 2010 course....

Very nice venue."

"Truely inspiring. I would not have believed that there
was so much to art!"

"Thoroughly enjoyed the two days!"

"Wonderful venue, very friendly group. Lots of fun, will come again."

Cliff comments 2010: "It was a thoroughly good time for me too! A real pleasure to meet you all and spend time in such a great location. The students were a joy to teach, the hall a very conducive space and the countryside wonderful."

We hope Cliff will be doing a course with us in 2012
