Frank gave an excellent introduction giving very useful demonstrations and clear instruction. The teaching was informative and backed up by notes. Homework was set and feedback given quickly which was very helpful . Logging into Obby was a little tricky but Frank was very patient and calm with us all .

Frank is an excellent, inspiring and encouraging teacher. It's amazing what you can learn in 6 lessons, from nothing. Frank teaches you the basics but encourages you to develop your own style. Seeing other student's work gives you further inspiration. It's a funny bi product, but I don't look at any scenery in the same way anymore. I notice the differences in tone and colour - and imagine how you would paint it. Take time to really look at it. To take it all in. Through lockdown, this course, has been such a wonderful release , a chance to express yourself creativity and a brilliant excuse to get away from work. Frank - Thank you!
