Learn watercolour painting Live or online with Hugh
Mission statement: My role as a teacher has always been about introducing the novice (adult or child) to the basic techniques of watercolour painting. To ‘jump start’ the individual on their creative journey. Learning should be fun while tapping into the wealth of creativity on the right side of the Brain which has been proven to shut down anxiety.
About Hugh: Following in the footsteps of his great great grandparents whom in the 1890’s moved around the North-West of England with their travelling Music Hall theatre. Presently Art tutor in residence at Bury art gallery where Granada TV filmed him at the start of his teaching career. Hugh has taught for Cunard aboard the QE2; in the USA, throughout the UK, and in Istanbul for the American educational holiday company Road Scholar. Awarded ‘Outstanding’ from Ofsted. His teaching techniques have been described in the Times Educational Supplement as ‘remarkable’.
He was awarded a Distinction in his art education degree from the University of Manchester. Interviewed in the same INEOS magazine issue as the Princess of Wales, where they spoke about the importance of art and mindfulness for adults and children. Hugh’s ‘art as a recreational therapy’ workshops tap into the often unused creativity on the right-side of the Brain. Available as a guest speaker, he has developed a way to help individuals find a little bit of time to heal by withdrawing from the cares that will not withdraw from us.
