"I have done them all - acrylic classes, watercolours, drawing, life drawing, Japanese Art, Chinese Art, online classes too numerous to mention. Claire's classes are the first to make me feel like I am not painting or drawing someone else idea and actually learning techniques that I can adapt and make my own. Highly recommended - Claire is a master at transferring her knowledge and making it work for each individual student in her class" - Ann Cook

Pencil to Paint
​Layering

Each stage of the work bringing it to life with detail and colour.
The different stages of a students work. Ann had not really had a lot of experience in drawing and this was her first course under Claires guidance. The course is on average 8 weeks. A short drawing course before joining Layering sees each student manage this course with greater ease but not essential.
​Each stage is carefully explained and the student and has consistent input through the whole process. It is one of the most fascinating processes and highly successful in achieving a higher level of detail.
