Drawing Sourthdowns Way - 1 day sketching workshop

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

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!

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!

I have tried a number of watercolour courses over the years, all have been fairly disastrous to be honest as I am not in the slightest bit artistic however, this course was brilliant and I (and my family!!) are so impressed with my pictures, Trish’s instructions were really easy to follow and the results are great and I really recommend giving it a go
My only disappointment is that I didn’t get to do the last lesson as work commitments made it difficult to find the time and I hadn’t realised that the course was only available for a limited amount of time.

I was given a gift card for Xmas and chose Tricia’s online watercolours for beginners. I enjoyed all the videos and Tricia presented at a very good pace with easy to follow instructions. The projects were set at the right level of difficulty for beginners. The feedback and sharing on the student chatroom was very beneficial with good feedback and constructive ways in how to improve your work. I would recommend this course for anyone who wants to take up watercolour painting or even refresh ones memory on techniques.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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