What the Times Educational Supplement has to say

Who knows traditional watercolour techniques? For those who are feeling rusty, art teacher Hugh Templeton claims he can get anyone to produce a painting to be proud of in three hours. The remarkable thing is, he generally can.

The trick is in what he calls “a bit of persuasion, a bit of magic, a bit of hypnotism”.  Hugh Templeton says: “I can teach anybody. It’s about gaining trust.”    Ian Clarke, head of Warren Wood Primary in Stockport, says: “Hugh Templeton has done workshops with all years at our school, and he certainly enthused the children. He got very good results with large groups: they did simple perspectives &  landscapes.   He says that  it is about  getting the children to enjoy being creative – but he does it in a very methodical way”
