Watercolour, acrylic, pen and sketching techniques
Sue Ford is often inspired by the wide range of subjects on her doorstep in North Yorkshire and she has exhibited widely, both locally and nationally. She also writes for Leisure Painter and Paint! magazines.
Her classes, workshops and painting holidays, both in the UK and abroad, are very popular, not least because she is skilled in a large number of media and can give practical advice about materials and techniques, as well as more general tuition in composition, colour and so on.
As a teacher she wants to inspire and encourage her students to achieve their artistic goals and realise their creative ideas. She says: “The aim is to stretch all students regardless of ability, and with patient, professional tuition, to form a foundation of artistic techniques as well as developing their own style in a relaxed learning environment.”
She adds: “Each student will be guided carefully throughout the day, from initial demonstration to ‘getting started’, followed by patient, professional tuition. I want to help my students to create paintings which will give them the confidence in their abilities and help them to develop their own artistic vision.”
