4.0 (1)
Andy is passionate about observational drawing and painting. Previously teaching drawing at UWE and the City of Bristol College he now works with a variety of clients on both corporate and private commissions and educational projects.
Helping people to develop their own individual styles of expression and tell their own stories, through the exploration and documentation of the visual world, he encourages and guides the way with new techniques and skills.Referencing the history of art and design to provide context for the experimental use of materials and composition, the sessions are invariably both fascinating and fun.
