I was signed up for Hugh's art class by my sister. It became one of the simplest and yet rewarding evenings that I have ever had. Hugh's style and manner is so calm and informative that you immediately feel comfortable and capable in his hands

Not only did I pick up the fundamentals of watercolour technique, I had the opportunity to produce a painting I am proud to have hanging in my house. This painting has become an everlasting memory of a day I treasure and a story of art initiation I love to tell.

Whatever your interests in life, a class with Hugh is a memory well worth having.

An absolutely unforgettable experience. Every child achieved a fantastic result. Hugh has a very professional approach, keeping the pupils on task and focused.

Hugh provided two days of watercolour painting in school. The feedback from pupils and staff has been overwhelmingly positive. There is no doubt that this was a very valuable experience for the pupils as well as the teachers.

Hugh spent two days teaching Years 7 to 10 how to paint landscapes and flowers. The paintings were then made into greetings cards and also displayed around the school, even our teaching assistants discovered their inner artist.

Hugh guides the children through each stage of a wonderful watercolour painting, his step-by-step technique and gentle manner meant the children warmed to him instantly.

I didn't know anything about watercolour painting before. I learnt from you that it is ok to make mistakes because that helps me to learn. I think my Mum is going to put my painting in a frame because she thought it was so good.

My painting was magical and mystical - like a dream world. I wanted to jump into the picture.

I showed my mum my painting and she said that it was the best piece of art work that had ever been made. I went and bought some tubes of watercolour paint and had loads of fun using them on Sunday afternoon.

I really enjoyed having an artist in class. You are great at art and a very kind person.
