A little about your instructor:

I’ve studied art for as long as I can remember, learning the rules, techniques, and foundations that every artist needs. But over time I realised that knowledge alone wasn’t enough—I needed to reconnect with why I was creating in the first place. That journey led me to experiment, let go of perfection, and rediscover my own artistic voice.

For over 10 years, I’ve been painting portraits, and for the past 5+ years I’ve had the joy of teaching others. When I teach, I bring both sides of my experience—the technical skills I’ve studied and the freedom that comes from creating in your own way. My greatest passion is helping others not only learn how to paint but also uncover their unique style and stay true to it. For me, art isn’t just about producing a portrait—it’s about expressing yourself, enjoying the process, and creating something that feels authentically yours.

What to bring:

Just bring yourself! - All materials are supplied

Optional - I do recommend bringing a size A4-A3 visual journal to track the progress of your classes. You can also bring your favourite supplies if you wish - paintbrushes, pencils, paints etc. but this is all supplied.
