Following the successful weekend with Moyna Flannigan, below are some of the comments our students had to make about the course…
“I learnt again to get out of my own way- not to try and get it right but just to trust that something will emerge and if it’s not O.K, I can just start again. Moyna reminded me (us) of the spiral nature of progress (that of) coming back to almost the same difficult place again and again but knowing one is a little further up the staircase.”
“What I enjoyed most about this course is the tuition and feedback, the excellent spacious facilities and availability of good materials to work with.”
“I enjoyed just about everything on this course and I feel I now have a lot of useful knowledge that I can use as a resource for my paintings, it will be brilliant to get Moyna again as a tutor.”
“The tutor was enthusiastic and her criticisms were specific to what I and each student were trying to achieve. She offered advice about the craft of painting. The reason I choose this course is this centre teaches techniques of painting, without being narrow or dogmatic”
“What I enjoyed and benefited from this course is useful advice about colour, composition etc. effective exercises to ‘let go’ gave me a sense that any subject, including fictional ones, can be considered.”
“I have been to many art schools, what I like about The Essential School is they actually teach you… and that’s what I like!”
