Private tutoring
I am happy to offer private tutoring sessions to both adults and kids. These can take place either at your home or we can meet in a cafe somewhere. I am happy to travel to neighbouring towns around Castlemaine, in Central Victoria.
In a private session I would want to talk to you about what you wish to achieve artistically, what you feel is holding you back and if you have any work you have already made I would love to see it. We would then talk about what might be the best way to proceed and we will go from there.
I might ask you to do some exercises, I might explain some artistic concepts or techniques and we can talk about what it feels like to make art and what can happen along the way as we become artists. I may also recommend some artists or movements for you to look into.

Testimonials
"Thank you also for ‘creating the space’ for the painting class. The free form of the class was a great way to get back into painting, and your helpful reminders and instruction of techniques much appreciated."
Christine
"I have come away from the course with a love of painting, more courage to experiment, knowledge about the basics and a desire to learn so much more. I found it to be a relaxed, non-judgemental, gorgeously friendly atmosphere. I loved the hands-on experimenting with different techniques and it was done with perfect instruction. Not obtrusive."
Jill
"I found Alison to be the most dedicated of teachers, every handout full of practical and uncomplicated information. She communicated her expert artist skills in the simplest manner without compromising the depth of her craft. I could not be happier in recommending her as an art teacher."
RG
"Thanks so much for the classes. I really enjoyed them, and the way you instructed us. The drawing was personally challenging, but the techniques you showed and your ideas and encouragement around practicing and just giving it a go were very helpful. I’m now less inclined to say ‘I can’t draw’ – which is a fantastic outcome."
Christine
"I enjoyed the course. You were most helpful."
