- The instruction was well paced, very instructional and enlightening. Patrick helped me to see and think differently, to look at the subject and the way I express myself in a new way. The venue airy, bright and well equipped. A very positive and inspirational experience. Faye M Capalaba
- Love the venue and atmosphere, and the tutor (Patrick Jones) was amazing. Jordan from Teneriffe
- 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
