Schools still forget to teach the basic skills of art and assume students will 'pick this up as they go along' - which they (usually) don't.

Is this you...?

I'm now at an age where I'm beyond redemption, so folks have given up on me and I do my own thing. So I have fun! My students enjoy themselves whether they want to or not....

All your feedback here is much appreciated. I try to reply to as many comments as possible, where appropriate.

However, I can only use 500 characters in the reply box so if you need an answer to an art question, go to my site via the link below and e-mail me there.

Cheers

Thanks, I have been doing GCSE work at school and your are completely right about teachers not teaching the basics! I have missed a whole year and have been wondering what was going wrong, if I get an A i will have to mention you to the rest of my art class. 10/10

you're a self tought artist? wow! I always wanted to go that way, but I am lacking in confidence, so help from tutors seem to get me going, however I've never really been tought how to use particular materials, so when painting I've always stuck with watercolour, but now I want to do more. I was put off oils because of how hard they were to paint with, and put of acrylics because they dry so quickly! I hope your tutorials will help me.
Thanks for posting these great vids!
