A beautiful day and a beautiful setting. It was a pleasure meeting Nathan in a small group which made it easier to follow his tuition. He is very patient and understanding and I enjoyed the class. I will be looking at another course in the near future.

.Lovely venue but even on a blue sky day it was very chilly.... I would have paid extra to be inside a community hall or similar venue. Nathan was very encouraging and made us feel welcome and a good tutor

I thought the tutor was very helpful but possibly as a beginner this was maybe not the best way to start with water colour pains. That said I picked up some good techniques which I have practiced and applied to my card marking hoppy so it was useful.

I've loved art ever since I was little and studied it at every opportunity that I got,
achieving A*'s throughout secondary education and eventually a degree in Animation. I am a friendly person with a passion for movies, video games and art. Lastly, I can't wait to teach different application techniques to people who want to endeavour into the colorful world of watercolours.

Title or Location: Mr Fox
For this 8x10 watercolor painting I used salt on wet paint in the background to give an impression of foliage, and a variety of strong brush strokes in green and blue in the foreground to give the impression of the Fox semi-hidden in grasses. My hope was to convey some of the impish beauty of this elusive woodland creature.

Title or Location: Time heals all?.
This painting was done with various brands of watercolor on Arches cold press. The reason behind it is healing so if you notice, the heart and roses in the back look decomposed while the rose in front of the top of the heart are coming back to life.
