Recent reviews of Dog and Cat Portraiture Workshop
- 5/5 from Ashleigh Draffen, attended May 2025: I had a great time and really enjoyed the session—it was both fun and educational. Gerard explained the concepts clearly and offered fantastic recommendations. I'm thrilled with how my Snoop Dogg painting turned out and am looking forward to attending more painting classes.
- 5/5 from Nima Sherpa, attended Sep 2024: My husband and I recently attended a private painting class led by Gerard, and it was a great experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for creativity. Gerard is not only an incredibly skilled artist but also an exceptionally patient and encouraging instructor. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, he knows exactly how to guide you, offering insightful tips and techniques that really make your work stand out. If you're looking for a creative outlet, want to improve your skills, or simply enjoy some time to unwind and be artistic, I can't recommend Gerard’s class highly enough. It’s an enriching and rewarding experience. Merci Gerard!
- 5/5 from Paul Carlsson, attended Jun 2024: This was a gift from my wife. Gerard was very knowledgeable and great company. I learned a lot and enjoyed the day Ideal venue. The gallery was the perfect place for an art class All materials were as needed I learned how to set up my painting first with sketching how to obtain the right lines and perspectives. Never used acrylic paint before and found how versatile and forgiving they are for a beginner. Value for money - yes for sure What I like most was the techniques I learned, working with Gerard and having something tangible at the end
- 5/5 from Wendy Chetcuti, attended Oct 2023: Great teacher full of knowledge new technology lots of different designs great class highly recommended
