Private 1-1 class
Private sessions are ideal for people visiting Ireland for a short-period, or for beginners/students seeking to develop skills quickly to meet professional or academic goals. For clients living outside of Ireland, please note that we can arrange for your painted canvases (once dried) to be delivered to your home country with the postal company of your choice.
These sessions are also used by practicing artists to expand their skill base and material knowledge with the aim of pushing their practice to a new level. The artist’s current work is used as a platform to discuss their themes, styles and intentions, and then we study directly from key works of other artists to understand technique and how to best combine with the client’s present practice. This can include understanding the palette of a particular painter, color combinations, layering in painting and the direct copying of drawing and paintings in the style you wish to explore. Private class can take place on Mon between 10-1 or 1-4 Tuesday 2-5 and Thursday, Friday 10-1.
