Highly recommended to artists seeking direction and professionalisation.
The one to one and group crits were super helpful, and the knowledge of the tutor was so helpful in guiding the group and offering sound reference and reflective points that has helped to move my work on!
I found the Personal Practice course life-changing as it has made me really reflect on why I paint, what is important within my practice and where I want to go next. Living in a remote place with few opportunities to get to exhibitions, it has been invaluable to talk with other practitioners about their work, influences, and to build supportive networks.
