More Information

Groups are for beginners and improvers, with sympathetic help and guidance within a friendly, supportive environment. Individual feedback is given throughout and there are no assessment forms in sight! Many of my students have not picked up a pencil since schooldays, having had a less than encouraging experience at the hands of a teacher in primary or secondary school. I understand this and is passionate in her belief that anyone can learn to draw. Live online art sessions including breaks as needed, with demos, discussion and study of relevant image examples, live project working, support and guidance, plus group and individual feedback both during and in between sessions.

 

  • I can't recommend these highly enough, and nor can the other students doing them. Roz has mastered Zoom lessons so well, and has all the right equipment, thanks to good IT advice, so we can see in detail all her demos, plus Roz can watch us doing our own work. At the end of a lesson we email a photo of our work so far, and comments come back from her. Another huge advantage is that she records each lesson, so catching up is so easy. No more carrying heavy bags around to lessons, and parking issues... everything is at hand in your own home, wherever you choose to paint (My son's bedroom looks rather taken over by 'the brush'!) And of course no health risk.

  • I have been enjoying Roz's art class for just over 2 years now and it has been an absolute joy. Roz is a great teacher very motivating and encouraging and classes are fun and informal. The zoom classes work really well making it easy to see Roz's demonstrations, ask questions and show your own work. I have learnt so much and enjoyed every minute.

  • Forget COVID, forget that you may have overeaten during lockdown and Christmas, forget all your worries by signing up for one of Roz Nathen's Art Courses. You will get two and a half or three hours of escapism into the world of art, colour mixing, sketching, painting, observing, listening and creating. The outside world is forgotten as new skills emerge. Roz is a very talented, experienced, encouraging and patient teacher who will guide you through the stages required. She offers a wide variety of courses to suit all abilities. This is my second year of joining her courses and I wish I had done so much earlier.

  • I took the plunge into online art classes in September as a project to keep me busy and sane during lockdown this year. It's been so rewarding! I had told Roz that I really didn't know how to apply paint beyond schoolgirl watercolours. I signed up for her portraits and also landscape classes involving acrylics, watercolour and gouache and mixed media. Roz's approach this term was to take us step by step through a project working from well-chosen paintings of various artists to learn a wealth of techniques, taking a few lessons to complete each project. Learning online with Roz's overhead camera set-up is probably better than if we were in a real room together as she completes her own version of the painting in stages with us. This is in amazing close-up in front of our eyes. We see Roz mixing colours, her brush choices, and paint application with her explanations throughout the process and we have a continuous dialogue with this expert with very constructive feedback on our own work to keep us on track. Oh, and we do have fun conversations. The result? My family has been so impressed with my painting that I have actually framed several of my pieces!! And as a bonus I have found the zoom sessions provide me with important social interaction with like-minded people twice a week. I am now in Tier 4 and I am still sane. Art really helps! Thanks Roz!

  • Roz teaches you all you need to know; the angle to hold the brush, the pressure to apply, the different effects you can achieve with brushes and the paint. You can't get all that from YouTube videos! Zoom adds a great way for us to closely watch instruction and ask details as we go.

    Jean, Landscape student

  • I have really enjoyed the last term of portrait painting, learning all the different techniques and putting the knowledge of paint mixing from the last course into use. Using zoom is great - being able to see in closeup your techniques, and of course Roz’s endless patience!

    Lucy, Portrait and Colour Student

  • Always interesting and well planned, Roz’s Zoom lessons are a real learning curve. I have attended three of her Zoom classes, and learn something new and helpful on every occasion. Roz is a good artist, but also is a qualified teacher – always evident in her approach – I really enjoy her creative ideas, and I am going to sign up for as many classes as she would like to give.

  • Roz is a patient and encouraging teacher with a wealth of knowledge to impart, her recent Zoom classes have been so easy to access and such a pleasure to be part of in this difficult time.
