Hi all,Can anyone recommend an art tutor for one-one-one tuition for my daughter. She is 13 and has some ability but is hitting a brick wall and would benefit from lessons to improve her drawing.ThanksKeith

Hello,I've seen this person do some amazing things with one to one and small groups. Might be worth giving her a go?https://twitter.com/SanThoughts?s=09Also if she is at school most teachers will give some time to give one to one with gifted students?

I think this place on King Street does lessons, and is  meant to be good.  Www.chelseafinearts.co.uk

This surprises me. If a child likes to draw then I'd give her a cheapie sketch book and advise her to draw what she likes to look at. Some people see in terms of lines and spaces and others in terms of colour and mass. I'd suggest buying her a cheapie range of pencils and colours - Tiger shops are good for this. Let her find her own way forward. Tell her artists are taught to extend their arms and use a pencil as a straight upright line to measure curves and relationships between spaces. This is awkward to do at first but comes naturally with time. If she's creative she probably has another talent too. Encourage it.Advice from a now blind artist.

If you daughter has ask for tuition please let her have it, I was denied thechance and always regret it.  Although I draw and paint now am self taught.

Chiswck artist Sangeeta Weatherley runs classes every Saturday morning, currently on zoom. I can thoroughly recommend her. www.sansart.co.uk It's all very friendly. Sangeeta is great at explaining and providing encouragement.
