Course testimonials:
- I really enjoyed the 2 days, learnt much more than I could have hoped, and Patrick was a great teacher and very down to earth for someone so incredibly talented, and with such an incredible portfolio of work recognised around the world. Would highly recommend the class. Especially to any beginner who wants to get off to a great start on figure drawing and art in general. Thanks, Marcel and Yasmin for putting this on and for providing the excellent facilities to make it so enjoyable....Mike from Shailer Park
- Drawing has always been a passion for me and I have always believed that the way to become a true artist was to first understand the human figure and be able to render it accurately. Creativity could follow from then. I found this course to be inspiring as well as informative. The venue is comfortable and well lit. The models were exceptional. Patrick is that rare creature who can not only draw exceptionally well but also has the ability to explain how he does so. He is also relaxed, friendly and very supportive. I encourage all developing artists to enrol for this course. I will be returning for his advanced course as soon as I can. D.Robson from Brisbane
- The tutor was very thorough. I really enjoyed and appreciated the depth he went into to help us understand what we were doing rather than just presenting a "formula" to follow. Robert C - Wynnum West
