About the Tutor

Steve is full of enthusiasm about painting and teaching. He loves the

challenge and expressiveness of watercolour especially, and would like

everyone to experience this excitement.

Each day will start with an introduction to the subject and a half-hour

demonstration to the group, then regular one to one demonstrations

given throughout the day as required. Steve will show the importance of

making sketches and values studies before deciding on compositions, and

will cover the underpinning theory, as well as the practice of every aspect

needed. Each day will conclude with sharing and reviewing participant's

work, leading to individual action plans for development at each of the

following sessions and for after the course ends.
