ABOUT US
This place is a literal dream for anyone interested in learning about painting or drawing, from the calm, patience and enthusiasm of the instruction from Eoin, to the stunning bright, high ceiling rooms you get to learn in, surrounded by beautiful works of art. I've been trying to find somewhere to learn that suits my schedule (I'm a shift worker) for a long time and the flexibility Eoin offers is unrivaled. I've seen him teach drawing, watercolour and oil painting and his knowledge and experience is obvious but not at all intimidating. This is a wonderful place to develop skill and also your own style, whether a beginner or otherwise. The classes are set up as a group doing their individual works while Eoin gives one on one instruction and also short demonstrations to the group. I cannot recommend highly enough and I can't believe how much I've learnt in such a short time. Do yourself a favour and give it a go! " Leah T. ongoing client with focus on the contemporary figure .
