REVIEWS
I was a bit anxious to start with as the explanations were very technical and I am not that skilled. Also it was not that clear what we were going to end up doing, to start with . I did not expect that the whole session was going to be outside, and I wondered for a while whether we were about to draw the church. But all fell into place and it was an intense and well-prepared workshop. We worked from models' photographs and the pre-explanations on various "vanishing points" and the proportions of the human body turn up to be really useful. Fakiha was super helpful and I am pleased with what I did. She also gave us some references for a website. I had a look and I am keen to practise more. Thank you Fahika!

Title or Location: She Watches In Silence
After working for a professional corporate studio for three plus years teaching painting, I had an ethical objection to their policies on protecting their artists, so I have branched out on my own and launched my own business as a freelance art instructor. Although there is fewer certainties being self-employed, it is an exciting adventure. This was the first commission piece I completed for a patron, and it is fitting that it celebrates my new found and hard earned freedom!

Title or Location: GRACE IN MIST
My art journey with Grace has been an incredible experience. She was originally intended to be a quick study of a white horse done in soft pastel. Little did I know, my vision was failing. I had developed cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration which all seriously compromised my vision and my color perception. I found myself struggling with proportions and balance which ultimately caused me to go to the eye doctor. My treatments have been successful and despite the many prior errors I was
