Popular Pop'in


During yesterday's pop art class, students painted a mixture of subjects - both celebrity and family members. It was a first time for all students and all of them were just a little doubtful as to how well they would do. That's when you just HAVE to trust your teacher....... Relax, put yourself in my hands, leave the worrying to me. It's what you are paying me for. Pop art is such a cool way to make a unique and personalised gift for someone special. Many of those who have learned it have received requests to paint more....and more.....and more. So, bearing this in mind and being well aware of the 'C' word that will be upon us in a few months, I am adding more Pop Art Classes to my class timetable. Your Pop Art session can be spent in several ways. You can start the work on a particularly complex and large portrait, or you can complete a 'normal' one. If you can't finish a Pop Art in the one session it is very, very easy to continure working at home - and several students have done this with 100% success. On the other hand, I have some students who use their class to prep several canvases with the sole purpose of working on many of them at home - enough to keep them ticking over for a few weeks. It's a great way of taking full advantage of my equipment. I only take on a few students at a time in a Pop Art class, which means it's a very intimate and friendly session - probably the next best thing to a private lesson. If you'd like to give it a go - click here to see the details of my next session. And if you can't wait - there's always private.

Pop Art Lesson


Last year, for mother's day, my eldest daughter gave me 'Aha Shake Heartbreak', a King's Of Leon CD. 'Mum', she said, 'You won't like this one straight away, but when you get used to it you will LOVE it the best'. She was right. I didn't like it. How can I describe it....................? Mmmmm - if it were a painting it would be an abstract! Today the CD came out and got played during today's class, along with 2 other Kings of Leon CD's. And today I have to say, I absolutely love the album the best - just like she said I would. The music didn't bother today's student at all. Rachel is a big KOL fan and it was perfect background music to the development of their PopArt Portrait. It was impossible to finish a 4 person portrait in the single 5 hour lesson and Rachel knew this at the time of booking. So, she has left with brushes and paint to enable her to complete this portrait at home. I bet she's working on it right now.
