The images shown here are NOT my paintings - they are my students' work.

Why not try 'Pop Art' as a Private Lesson Painting Workshop..................?  

Pop Art is becoming more and more popular.  It's a fun and simple way for you make a portrait of your favourite celebrity, pet, landmark or family member.  It makes an ideal and unusual gift.  No previous art experience is necessary to make these portraits and I guarantee great results or your money back.

You can paint your portrait on a classic white background, alternatively you could chose a pastel colour to suit your home decor.  All the materials you need for this workshop are supplied for you.  Refreshments are provided.  Please allow up to 5 hours for this workshop.   

I can take a maximum of 4 students at a time for a Pop Art class, so if you'd like to make a group booking you can take advantage of the £5 discount per person.  You do not have to paint the same subject as everyone else.   

 Once learned you will find Pop Art to be easy and fun to do at home.  You can choose to spend just 10 minutes on your portrait project or paint all day long.  It's not something that has to be completed in one sitting.  This makes it very versatile project to do, fitting it into any spare time you have.

Emily was thrilled to receive a Pop Art painting lesson as a surprise birthday gift.  She was able to paint her musical idol in a single lesson and he now hangs in her home (or sometimes not, as you can see!).  She's very proud to tell her friends 'I did that'.

A family photo can easily be transformed into a funky Pop Art portrait.  If you would like to paint a family member, friend, pet I will require a selection of photos from you beforehand.  It's ok for these to be emailed to me.  If you'd like to paint a celebrity I will require your choice of subject at least 5 working days before the lesson.  This allows me to work with the image, saving time during the class although the full procedure will be shown to you.  Not all photos are suitable for Pop Art portraiture and having images finalised before the lesson will prevent any disappointment.


Paintings are made on a 10 x 10 inch deep edge box canvas.

Larger canvas are available for your portraits at a nominal charge.  It's possible to start a complex portrait (ie - perhaps 4 heads), which can easily be completed at your leisure at home.  You made need to purchase a few supplies to be sure of continuity, but these are not expensive at all.

You can view my own Gallery for more Pop Art images and ideas.

Here's a selection of budding Pop Artists at work - and as you can see, it's suitable for all ages.
