TEACHING AND DEMONSTRATIONS

“…the best demo we’ve had in many years!’’

I believe that painting and drawing is hugely beneficial to us in all sorts of ways and the more people who engage and participate the better

In 2015 I set up Life Drawing MK and I also run Drink Draw Northampton. I teach workshops and course regularly at Westbury Arts Centre and I also offer tuition to groups and individuals.

As well as teaching I also demonstrate to art societies and groups across the UK. This typically involves talking through my process as I paint over usually over a couple of hours.

TESTIMONIALS:

‘I have seen numerous portrait demonstrations over the last 20 years Matt’s was one of the best demonstrations and explanations of portrait painting I have ever seen!’

Peter Keegan (Portrait artist) - 22/11/24

“I am hugely grateful to him for providing a fascinating, inspiring afternoon. Starting with information on the paints, brushes and his chosen palette, we all watched in awe as Matt created a scaffold of lines onto which he then applied colour, all the time stressing the importance of value. Freely answering our questions as a likeness of his model miraculously appears, we all came away with a much clearer understanding of the skills required and a desire to try to acquire some of those skills for ourselves. Whatever ability one has, there is much to be learned from Matt, I cannot commend him highly enough.”

Jane Rhodes - Cranfield Art Group - 12/03/25

‘’Many thanks for your brilliant demo to Napton Art Group this afternoon. Your clear instructions and advice while producing your signature portrait of our model, Jane, was truly inspirational. As one of our members stated, probably the best demo we’ve had in many years!’’

Janet Mckay - Napton Art Group 14/03/25
