"I joined Richmond School of Painting last year. In a short time, I have learned a great deal. Guy continues to oversee and advise about line, tone and colour. It is an ongoing learning experience - there is always something more to tackle, to improve, to change. The lessons fly by and one is absorbed in a painting bubble - a unique experience - something to look forward to each week."
