Recent Testimonial
“My wife and I had the pleasure, last week, to join with Mark and his other subscribers on his residential sketching and painting course in North Devon. The whole experience exceeded our expectations most importantly, Mark’s approach to helping us improve our work. We covered sketching, the use of water soluble pencils, painting techniques and perspective. Furthermore we were able to apply our learning, under Mark’s guidance, to sea scapes, boats and the beautiful grounds and buildings of Westcott Barton itself.
We found Mark to be an extremely genial person with a great sense of humour and a very positive approach to helping those of us less talented to improve our work.
We are very happy to recommend him to anyone wishing to understand more about the art of painting and sketching during one of his residential programmes."
I have tutored on many painting holidays in the UK, France and Italy for a number of years.
