Surrey Art Tutors & Art Demonstrators

As a tutor, Melanie is a regular visitor to Art Groups around the South East giving demonstrations, running workshops and hosting painting holidays for individuals.

She has written four art instruction books for Collins.

I enjoy the freedom of lecturing, teaching and presenting work in different places and to different people.
My artwork is mainly digital and is often site-specific to where I am exhibiting or lecturing.

Nathalie, who is based in Guildford, can be hired to provide either one-to-one or class based tutoring to children and adults alike.

She has run many workshops as a guest teacher for Berkshire based art school Artspiration.

Nathalie recently ran a portrait workshop in Heathside School in Weybridge for the A-Level students. The portraits were the results of the workshop and submitted for their final exam as coursework.

Liz now concentrates on a busy schedule, demonstrating to Art Societies throughout the country and teaching residential courses at Dedham Hall near Colchester, Essex, Earnley Concourse in Sussex, and other centres.

Sera, who lives in Horsell, Woking, is a member of various Surrey art societies and groups and exhibits her work regularly with these.

She also teaches adult education classes and tutors private groups in mainly watercolour, mixed media and drawing mediums.

​I studied and graduated with a Masters degree from the prestigious Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University in Istanbul – I had the privilege of being taught by the wonderful Hikmet Barutçuǧil, one of the most inspirational living masters of the art.

I love to provide tutoring to everyone who wants to know more and meet with this amazing art and introduce them to how versatile and contemporary it can be.

I relish being able to provide the opportunity to those who attend my workshops, to learn the roots of this amazing art and use the possibilities of the Art of Marbling Ebru and the potential within themselves, to be creative .

The objective of the courses will be to focus on individual requirements. Everybody has their own preferences regarding what they like to paint or draw. I will endeavour to improve a student’s skill level, so they become more confident and proficient.

I also will be organising groups to join me during some weekends drawing and painting landscapes on location.

Fine Drawing and Painting (including Portraits), Presentation Bindings and Calligraphy.

For tutoring, I cover all the major disciplines and a range of subject matter. Apart from sessional teaching, I am more than happy to give workshops and demonstrations to groups and societies.

Previously living in Surrey, I am now resident in Rochester Kent, but am willing to travel.

Some are born with a natural talent, (for instance Picasso could draw beautifully at age 7); that applies in all walks of life. However, drawing and painting is often not well taught! My structured methods can bring out the best in any budding artist.

I paint landscape, portrait, still life; telling a story or expressing an emotion, emphasising light, tone and colour.

I work in a varied style but mostly “post-impresssionist”, or “academic” rendering.

I work both in my studio or  ‘en plein air’.
