I believe that art is a great way for individuals to express themselves and often a very good stress reliever! Children have the opportunity to assert their creativity and discover what materials and media they enjoy working with the most! In this class, students have the space to explore their love for art and use their imagination to create their very own masterpieces! This is not only for children but for teenagers and adults alike!
Extra information
Please supply art/sketch book or paper and paint brushes if applicable!

About Me
Growing up I had so many wonderful teachers who helped me progress and excel in my reading, writing, and spelling which has inspired me to help other students who may struggle with any of these aspects while learning English or students who are looking to improve and better their English skills.

I believe it is very important for a student to feel interested and engaged with the materials they are assigned, while also building up their confidence to progress to more challenging things.

I successfully completed GCSE and International Baccalaureate (High Level) English. I have also completed 6 years in academia ending at the University of Cambridge. My goal is to help students with their reading and writing but also to help them engage properly with the material they are learning. I believe it is important that students feel excited and interested with the material they are studying and I hope to aid this process.

I am an oil pastel lover who turns to this medium again and again — when I’m happy, tired, bored, overwhelmed, or simply longing to be surrounded by colour. Oil pastels have accompanied me through many moments of life, always offering comfort, freedom, and expression.

Every time I paint with oil pastels, I find a sense of relaxation and inner peace — something increasingly precious in our fast-paced world.

Oil pastels are, to me, a truly magical material. They can be firm or soft, bold or delicate, layered or blended. With just your hands and simple tools, they invite both control and spontaneity, making them perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike.

In an age where AI can generate endless images, I believe deeply in preserving the human act of creation — the joy of touching materials, playing with colour, and allowing emotions to flow through the hands. Painting is not just about making images; it is about reconnecting with ourselves.

I believe everyone has the ability to create art. Everyone has their own sense of colour, rhythm, and expression.

**** What you will learn in this class ****
🖼️ Essential oil pastel techniques (layering, blending, texture, and composition)

🎨 Colour combinations and how to develop your own colour language

🖌️ Creative approaches to painting freely and intuitively

🧘 How to use painting and colour as a tool for relaxation, emotional release, and self-care

This class is suitable for beginners and intermediate learners. No prior art experience is required — only curiosity and openness!

**** Materials ****
In-person sessions: All materials are provided, including oil pastels, paper, masking tape, and palette knives. Just bring yourself.
Online sessions: Materials are not provided, but I will guide you in advance on what to prepare and how to use simple and accessible supplies.

In our sessions, we don’t just paint — we explore, connect, and gently listen to our inner world.

I look forward to sharing this colourful, calming, and meaningful journey with you!
