Art course for All Abilities - 12 weeks

Vivien Sharples reviewed: Drawing and Painting online tuition

"I have just had the first of 3 sessions with Tricia and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I found Tricia to be inspirational! She is friendly and down to earth and explained everything very clearly. It was exactly the right mix of demonstration and hands on. Tricia guided me and gave me confidence, every step of the way. I was pleased to have clear homework tasks to practise the skills she taught me. Can’t wait for next week! Thank you Tricia."

Art with Tricia responded:

"Thanks for the lovely review. So glad you enjoyed the session. It's always a bit daunting to learn something new, especially online so really pleased it was pitched to the right level. Lots more to learn in the next two weeks!"

"What a marvellous experience! This is the first art workshop I have ever taken and as a novice, I am glad that this class was one of my first. Tricia is an inspirational and highly knowledgeable tutor. Everyone involved were so friendly and I look forward to seeing most again in the foreseeable future! Thank you very much Tricia and to the model, I enjoyed every minute of the Life Drawing day :D x"

Art with Tricia responded:

"Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. I know the day can sometimes feel like a lot of 'concentrating', especially if you are a beginner. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope my sessions are as informative as possible, while still being friendly and easy going. It's a treat to be able to devote a whole day to a new skill. I look forwarde to see you again!"

Sarah reviewed: Life Drawing - Worthing West Sussex

"As I live in Littlehampton I always look out for Tricia's courses. She is such a wonderful teacher and so patient. Her style of teaching suits me really well. She isn't a follow along, step by step teacher, she inspires, encourages and pushes me to explore my own abilities. This life drawing course didn't disappoint. With her usual good humour she encouraged me to try measuring, observing and sketching from the model. I've always wanted to try this and I'm hooked. It was an exhausting day and I learnt so much. I'll be back next month for more!"

Art with Tricia responded:

"Sarah, Thank you for a lovely review, I'm so glad you enjoyed the Life Drawing day and I look forward to seeing on the next one."

Sarah reviewed: Saturday Art Club in West Worthing

"I love this club! It is an open workshop where the tutor Tricia is always ready to give me support with my project. I know I can take anything I'm working on and Tricia will be able to help me. She's so patient and knowledgeable. This month we also had the option to try Chinese Brush Painting. What a joy! We can even make requests for a specific demonstration or taster for next month. If you don't want a taught course, but would like some help or to chat with some lovely friendly Arty people then this is the course for you. I can book up when I need help, but now it's my monthly treat!"

Art with Tricia responded:

"Sarah, thank you s much for the lovely review. I'm glad your enjoying Saturday Art Club. I loved your Chinese Brush Paintings last week and I'm glad you are enjoying meeting other local Artists like yourself. :-) Don't forget, just email me to request the topic, medium or technique you would like to try next month."

"Beautiful model and plenty of instructions from Tricia. Made unpleasant by the necessity of having to wear masks all day. Shame the November session has been cancelled, but looking forward to February 2021!"

Art with Tricia responded:

"Thanks for your feedback. Fingers crossed our 2021 courses won't have such strict COVID restrictions and we may be able to dispense with masks. I'm glad you enjoyed the session otherwise."

Janice Manchester reviewed: Drawing Tai Chi - 1 day workshop - Worthing West Sussex

"This was the first of Tricia's classes that I attended. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. The morning session was quite intense but after the initial warm up sketches, I felt that we had sufficient time to complete more complete drawings. The model, Katie, was fabulous and a perfect subject. Tricia was very helpful to everyone and provided just the right amount of support when needed. I thought I would be inexperienced compared to the other attendees, but this was a very mixed group and everyone was welcoming. The afternoon session was interesting with the opportunity to try two types of printing. Time didn't permit us to try both, but it would be nice to have a go at the second option on another occasion. I look forward to attending future workshop and will be checking Tricia's website for other art classes that I may be able to attend on a more regular basis."

Art with Tricia responded:

"I'm so glad you enjoyed your first session. You are right the group is quite a mix of different abilities and I hope I can make everyone feel part of the group by spending more time with newer students and pushing those with more experience to challenge themselves."

Sonia moore reviewed: Drawing Tai Chi - 1 day workshop - Worthing West Sussex

"7 December 2019 Life Drawing: The model was absolutely lovely and had some wonderfully graceful poses. The afternoon was enjoyable learning a new art technique and made a good change of pace from the morning as Life drawing is quite an intense day. I find that I could do with a couple of extra breaks in the day when just life drawing."

Art with Tricia responded:

"I'm glad you enjoyed sketching our new model and I'm sure she will be back next year. The afternoon printing was a nice change and everyone produced some great work. The whole day life drawing is often lots of drawing and even more concentrating! But its great to see how student's skills improve even over one session."

Pat burford reviewed: Drawing Tai Chi - 1 day workshop - Worthing West Sussex

"I really enjoyed this course. We had a very natural model and the afternoon was fun. I learnt a new hobby with the lino cutting. Tricia is a very patient and kind teacher who is willing to show you how to put things right when you go wrong. I will certainly be looking out for other courses"

Art with Tricia responded:

"Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed the session and in the afternoon got a taste of a new medium, with the lino cutting! Todays model was lovely.....I'm sure you'll see her again on another course."

"Tricia is a wonderful, patient tutor (and I'm not just saying that because she brings cakes!), who guides us through her courses based on our individual strengths and weaknesses. I have attended several of her classes and always feel there is something fun, new and interesting to learn."

Helen reviewed: Drawing Tai Chi - 1 day workshop - Worthing West Sussex

"Have been to several of the Life Drawing workshops before and always enjoyed them. This one with musicians was a bit different and quite a challenge as they were clothed and constantly moving! A nice relaxed atmosphere, helpful encouragement and words of advice from Tricia and the music was great. I'd love to have another go at this."

Art with Tricia responded:

"Many thanks for your positive feedback and continued support of the Life Drawing workshops throughout the year."

Christopher Weymouth reviewed: Drawing Tai Chi - 1 day workshop - Worthing West Sussex

"A very different and challenging life course with the musicians expertly playing a wide range of music while posing in natural playing stances. A clothed life class is new to me but the music evoked a new style to my art. Tricia was continually behind the scenes dropping words of advice or approval as she observed our efforts. It was hard work but very enjoyable. I hope Tricia will bring them together again for us."

Art with Tricia responded:

"Thank you for your support over the past few years, I'm glad to see you are still enjoying coming to Life Drawing each session and are being 'challenged' by the different themes each workshop."

Claire reviewed: Drawing Tai Chi - 1 day workshop - Worthing West Sussex

"Always fun, Tricia is a friendly and helpful tutor, who is happy to share her knowledge. Each workshop sets a new challenge, offering lots of opportunities to push myself and practise my drawing skills."

Art with Tricia responded:

"Claire, thank you."

Kate Johnson reviewed: Drawing Tai Chi - 1 day workshop - Worthing West Sussex

"Interesting and challenging days - especially enjoy the slightly longer poses."
