Drawing and Painting
Do you want to learn a specific technique or how to use certain art materials or even master a particular style? Or get started with making some art for relaxation? Or do you need advice on your portfolio, discuss ideas and have demonstrations?
We all need advice, encouragement and of course technical help at some point and we are there to be your studio pal, pro assistant, excellent tutor or arty accomplice as you need it!
Try our one to one or group sessions with a professional, friendly and supportive artist.
Blair Thomson is a skilled and versatile artist who has exhibited widely (from U.K. to U.S. to Japan) and tutored many individuals and groups since graduation in 2002. At Glasgow School of Art he was traditionally trained in drawing and painting, before going on to study various approaches with other teachers. He has curated exhibitions and been part of public exhibition selection, so he has a wealth of experience to tap into.
Moreover Blair is a kind listener and always enjoys helping others with their artwork. You will feel safe to confide in him about your interests and any worries or uncertainty you have. Any questions you have or guidance you need, Blair will help you.
