The Line and Wash workshop was a real treat, with carefully planned tasks that helped me build up new skills and confidence. Lizzie created a warm and encouraging atmosphere, and her encouragement set me free to experiment and explore creative possibilities. Have already recommended to others!
Mandy, Line and Wash Workshop Participant 2023
Meet Lizzie, Art Tutor and Founder of ARC
“I love encouraging people in their creativity and I believe that everyone, given the space and encouragement, can produce a personal and integral piece of artwork they can be proud of.
The foundational technical skills applied to drawing and painting are vital and each class I teach focuses on developing these but I also believe in generating freedom rather than perfection.
My studios are surrounded by nature and create a calming and safe environment where people are inspired to ‘have a go’, drawing inspiration from the work of leading contemporary and historical artists. I love seeing my students discover new depths of creativity and the moment of surprise and pleasure when they start believing that they can do it”
