I highly recommend doing a course with Adrian. I’ve just done a master copy painting course, which was delivered in a very clear and easy to follow way. It was highly informative yet relaxed. It has taught me the important principles of painting and it gives a lot to continue with. Adrian is super at teaching and made the whole experience all the more enjoyable.

The figure drawing course given by Adrian is to be recommended both as a comprehensive introduction to all relevant aspects for the beginner and as a structured approach for the self-taught or the advancing student.

Excellent two day alla prima portrait workshop with Adrian. The course was informative and well presented, and I feel I made a lot of progress in the two days. Would highly recommend.

I’ve completed two courses this year (drawing and oil painting) and have thoroughly enjoyed them both. No matter whether you’re a beginner or expert, Adrian adjusts his style to suit you, in a lovely relaxed environment.

I have just completed an online portrait drawing course with Adrian. It was an excellent ten weeks. Adrian explained in great detail how to draw portraits. We covered all aspects of portrait drawing. Detailed and very clear notes were provided every week. There was no pressure in class and no question left unanswered. Adrian is available to help with any problems that might arise throughout the course and even post course. I highly recommend his courses. Very professional and well worth doing.

I have completed a drawing course and a weekend portrait drawing course with Adrian, both of which I really enjoyed. He makes you work hard but gives fantastic advice on technique and the necessary skills required to become good at drawing. I have completed six portraits of my grandchildren at this stage and look forward to doing a painting course in the autumn. If like me you want to learn to draw this is the place for you.
