Margaret Shaw - Tuition

I'm a professional associate of the SAA.  I have tutored art beginners classes/workshops, creative workshops and mentored/coached people to develop their skills.  I work one to one with both beginners and more experienced artists, introducing them to media and techniques. 

I'm happy to demonstrate my approach to artwork and deliver workshops. If you are interested in how I approach my artwork some recent Works in Progress are at the end of this page.   I also give talks on my photography from an artistic perspective.  On this page are some examples of my tuition.

I live in Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria so if you're looking for a workshop/tuition within my vicinity contact me to discuss what I can offer you.

"Margaret Shaw has a knack of showing you how to draw or paint without patronising. Her tutorials are set out in a step by step formula which takes you from gridlines, to finished and signed, in a simple, easy to follow way. It's almost as if she's looking over your shoulder as you do it and saying "have you just thought about darkening that shadow a bit more?".
I had lessons with Margaret and can recommend her to anyone, whatever their level of experience."

Christine Goodwin - Monoflower.  One Pencil Tutorial

Working with "At the Helm" I ran photographic workshops for children in Kirkby Stephen.  One for primary school age and the second for secondary school age.

     

During the time of Coronavirus social isolation & distancing,
with Create to Connect I decided to produce free on line tutorials under the heading of "Lets Draw".  
The idea was to use a minimum of art materials that most people would have to hand ( pencil, paper and eraser ). These are still available if you contact me.
There is also an introductory workshop.
