I’m more or less a complete beginner, I managed three paintings in the session & I was so pleased with them, with joes guidance I was able to really stretch myself & get an idea of how to further my practise The studio in Camden’s WMC is great, spacious, well lit and there was plenty of materials. A totally inspiring day, cannot recommend highly enough!!
