If you are looking for advice on building your portfolio, or need feedback on your work or perhaps you need help with interviews, get in touch
If you’re looking to develop your artistic skills with expert guidance from a professional artist with years of experience teaching and exhibiting, I may be the person you’re looking for.
I have a friendly relaxed and supportive approach to teaching allowing students to develop their own style and at their own pace.
My teaching approach, I would often start with the basics, such as, looking at your set-up, and what materials you need to get started, I then set simple drawing exercises with the aim of building confidence and understanding your process. Whether you’re a beginner or more experienced I can tailor a programme that’s right for you.
Absolute beginners as well as experience welcome.
Being a good artist isn’t about having natural talent; it’s about getting the right information and applying that information in your practice.

I can’t imagine a better drawing tutor than Des. He taught my intensive portrait workshop at the RA and it was a fantastic experience for a beginner like me. He laid out some general instruction that was super helpful and he gave me plenty of personal feedback that was very useful for my development. Thanks, Des, you’re the best!
Des is a great teacher and has an amazing artistic eye and knowledge. I really felt like I've improved my art skills after some sessions with him. Very professional, but also personable and nice to work with.
