In drawing and painting sessions, I guide students through carefully structured exercises that develop observation, composition, tonal awareness and colour sensitivity. Technical skills are built progressively, but always through discovery rather than rigid instruction. Students are encouraged to reflect on their work, articulate their ideas and develop confidence in their o
