Marilyn Torrance reviewed: Exploring Styles

"Julie introduced pastel drawing to us, giving a bit of background and then hands-on experimentation with the different types of pastels and papers. She then preceded to teach us how to draw a beautiful seascape (or two). She was amazing. All 6 of us produced art that we were happy to hang on our wall’s, even the couple of Ladies who didn’t think they had an ounce of creative flair! Julie’s class was informative and very enjoyable. I highly recommend."

Julie Ford Art responded:

"Thank you so much for the lovely review. I thoroughly enjoyed running it. Thank you for asking me. :-)"

"I hadn’t painted since I left school 36yrs previously! Julie spent time explaining perspectives and horizons before going on to use of colour and tools. The practice hour was invaluable before getting stuck into the ‘real’ picture. The reaction from family and friends when I showed them my artwork was worth the 36yr wait! I’m very excited to get on to the next course when I’m able to. Thank you Julie. Xxxx"

Julie Ford Art responded:

"Thanks so much Karen. Delighted you enjoyed and and look forward to seeing you again. x"

"I really loved the pastels workshop I did. I was a complete novice and now have discovered a love for working with pastels and have created some pretty decent pieces! Julie is great at guiding you through each stage, and at an appropriate pace with help and support along the way. Guess what my family are getting for Christmas! Highly recommended."
