“I have been a student with Ilkley Art school for two years and have thoroughly enjoyed the life drawing sessions. Each session takes a different and imaginative approach. John leads each session with a very engaging and supportive style which encourages students to experiment with various materials which enables students to produce a wide range of responses to the model. John also uses examples from a large number of artists to illustrate the aims of each session”

“A great balance between challenge and encouragement”

“Totally inspired and delighted by the sessions”

“Always leave feeling better than when I arrive, with an armful of drawings and a smile”
