Student Testimonials
We have student testimonials on each of the course pages, but here are a few highlights...
'I honestly loved doing this course. I felt I learnt so much and my skills have improved massively, compared to when I first started. It has definitely made me feel more confident in my artistic ability even in areas I felt very nervous about such as working with humans and anatomy.'
I really enjoyed the course and feel like I have learned a lot. I’ve always drawn but felt I wasn’t really improving so the course has definitely helped. A great tutor and I have really appreciated their support and encouragement so thank you for all your help. I appreciate having someone who actually helps. I also want to thank everyone else at the college, particularly the lovely, helpful admin people.
