Just spent last term with James and his class Adventures in Abstract Painting. A real newbie at this and made to feel at home and got encouragement at every step. A lot more to colour than I realised. I soon realised I couldn't really go wrong one just paints over the following week. The group is great for all levels so I didn't feel like a dummy. Thank you James I will return
