The day will involve an exploration of materials and how we can create art with an ‘intensity of expression’. Focusing on the sea as a subject, we will be drawing and painting with charcoal, wax, pastels, conté, watercolour pencils, and oil paints.

This is a day all about experimentation, and is suitable for people with some previous experience.

Private tuition

I am currently taking on new students who are interested in developing their painting and drawing skills. All ages and abilities are welcome and I teach both one-to-one and in small groups. Tuition can be tailored to your needs, from a one-off ‘taster’ lesson to more intensive tuition.

Tuition is undertaken from my studio in Littlemore in Oxford, or at your home, depending on which is preferable. Outdoor tuition is undertaken in Oxford and the surrounding area. It includes observational work in the Ashmolean and Natural History Museum, as well as drawing historic buildings within the Oxford Colleges.

“We feel very lucky to have Tim as a drawing tutor, since he has motivated our son to enjoy art as a lifestyle.”

Dr. Olivia Ada Symons

“Tim has allowed the kids to explore nature from various perspectives and with different colours, and the kids enjoy the experience.” 

Michelle Kim

Tim draws on a wealth of experience, working with beginners through to experienced practitioners. His approach has an emphasis on working outside, with the option of classes at your home or online where preferred. All materials are provided, although your own sketch pad is recommended.

Tuition includes use of line and tone in the creation of form, use of colour, and drawing and painting techniques. Oil painting, watercolour and mixed media tuition are provided.
