Tiddlers and Intermediates


Half of today's students opted to paint a tiddler. That's what we now call the mini canvases. It's an option I give to my intermediate students (painting subject permitting). You see, an intermediate student could be sat next to a first timer in a class. This often means an intermediate student will finish a little quicker than the beginner - so - they have more than enough time to carry on working on the smaller canvas - PLUS - it stops them fiddling with their main painting. To qualify for intermediate status you need to have attended 4 painting classes with me. You'll receive a certificate to mark your new level too. In this time I know a student will be fully versed with many of the different effects we can get from the various brushes. The tiddler canvas can be painted at an additional cost of only £5 - and for that amount I know you'll find they make great personalised presents for friends and family alike.
