Cool Cats Weekly Coffee Time Support Group is a great way to connect up and chat about anything arty. Grab yourself a drink and lets sit and explore thoughts and ideas or challenges together in a friendly space. Maybe you have an idea for a painting or your not sure how to do something. This space is for you to connect up and talk about art and everything art related. Biscuits are allowed so long as I can have one too. Look forward to seeing you.

Artists essential knowledge tutorial videos are literally lessons on anything and everything that an artist should know and actively practice when drawing and painting. These are video lessons on things like cleaning oil paint from brushes, or seeing correct proportion, or colour theory. In fact it's the basic things that often get missed but make a huge difference when you take the time to learn them.

This course is designed to just get you started. Please do share your painting when completed as it will become a measure of your progress in the months to come. Remember getting things wrong is how we learn so just relax and enjoy. Regards Martin

This is a nice little still life study of 3 blue glass items on a simple background. Please do share you painting and remember if you need help just ask.

This single lemon still life course is a great little study and it teaches you a lot about controlling colours as you move into darker tonal values.

This course takes you from an Imprimatura stage to a completed forest painting.
