Stephen was an absolutely amazing and wonderful teacher for my daughter, who applied to a few very prestigious undergraduate Fashion Design Colleges in the USA and Europe. She worked with Stephen for over 6 months, and we are certain that Stephen's involvement in this process played a crucial role in her acceptance to the best design college in the USA. He was very patient and creative with the entire portfolio pieces. My daughter and I are very grateful to have had Stephen on our team. She loved working with Stephen!

I organised for Stephen to come in to our Dell Technologies office to run a group painting exercise with a large team (80 people). We had five groups over the course of three hours. Stephen was fantastic. He made the experience fun for all involved and we ended up with a masterpiece which we will hang in the office. Thank you!

Recently completed 2 courses back to back (beginners in acrylics and Abstract for beginners). As a complete beginner, i was quite nervous but Stephen was great (knowledgeable and friendly) and really encouraging. The classes are small (max 5 people), and i found this worked well for me when i got a little frustrated with my progress (everyone was so supportive & friendly).
I've learnt so much and i've just signed up for another course in Jan :) Fully recommend - great for beginners like me and those with more experience.

Really enjoyed the Painting for Beginners course and would recommend to anyone new to or not very confident in painting techniques. Stephen created a friendly and relaxed environment and tailored the course to what the group wanted to learn. I loved that there was a small group of us and feel I learned a lot. I plan to try Stephen's other courses in future. Thank you!

Went to Stephen for some one-to-one tuition as I am self taught in portraiture and wanted some ideas on how to further develop my own style. Stephen has a wealth of knowledge, is sensitive and very skilled in facilitation. I came away with more space and possibility to try new things out. I attended a one day drawing class with Stephen first which was a very enjoyable day. The atmosphere he creates uplifts your ability from the get go, so he subtly pushes your potential by seemingly doing nothing. Highly recommended!

Had a great “Exploring Abstract art course with Stephen at Art Courses.
It was good to try something different, Stephen is an inspiration , very approachable and gives good feedback . It was fun and friendly with good biscuits !
I would highly recommend these classes and I am hoping to do another course this summer

Thoroughly enjoyed it and grew. Did the beginners course for acrylics. Never done it. Always curious. Nervous about the material, the process and the techniques. Turns out everyone was in that boat. Phew. Stephen was engaging, fun, informative and supportive. The environment and approach made you feel like an artist, not a rookie. I learnt about terminology, hacks, and styles. Also got a bonus experiment with oil on canvas. Would recommend. Also, don't slack on the paints. I did. I ended going back to the art shop 3 times.
