Samples of Students Work

Richard and Diana Moore have been teaching art since 1997. 

Over the years they have developed a drawing program that works quickly and
efficiently with students who feel they have no natural talent.

It only takes a few lessons to see that with the correct tuition, anyone can draw.

Each year they develop and refine their techniques to make it simple for students
to pick up drawing skills effortlessly.

Richard, whom was born with natural talent, brings more than 30 years of professional art experience to share with the students. 

Diana, having learnt from scratch brings empathy to those who are just starting out, and has worked with Richard to develop simple step by step instructions to make it easy for students to follow.

Together they bring a harmonious balance to the classes with Diana building student’s confidence and once they are showing a need to advance, Richard steps in and stretches their skills to enable students to improve with each lesson.  

In a lot of art classes today, often students will be asked to draw or paint straight on to paper using the student’s imagination.  This can be of great advantage to someone whom already has the drawing skills formed, but can be very discouraging to someone who can’t draw.   Richard and Diana discovered that by using reference, students can study and observe their subjects to ensure each picture is done correctly with the right dimensions. It also is essential for building a pathway to the right side of the brain.

Once students have mastered their drawing skills, they then have the confidence to draw with or without reference.  However, this is a process that is taken at the students own pace.

“The look of satisfaction on the students face when they have completed a picture makes it all worthwhile.  We have created these lessons as a way of reaching out to those who would like to learn to draw but are unable to find a suitable class to be taught.”

“You never stop learning with art.  Every teacher will have something to add to your knowledge.  These lessons will give you the confidence you need to try different styles and techniques.”
