Testimonials

"Loved this class and Richards teaching style is fun and creative."

"Richard is such a great teach, we feel like he was sharing such interesting elements of drawing, and of course, it is up to us to start implementing. Also he was so non-judgemental, encourageing (in a sincere way!) and ready to agree if what we were doing could do with some improvement, with good advice we could actually understand, rather than taking our pencil and redrawing the whole exercise. Funny banter always keeping us enteretained, which elevated our 'anxiety'. He understood it wasn't how good we were but about the enjoyment and making the most of the time...certainly pushed us all along. Thank you!"
