Alison

Hi! I'm a professional pet portrait and wildlife artist running my own small business since 2020, I create bespoke artworks for clients of their pets, in colour pencil on various papers. I've loved art since a young age and have devoted my life to it in various forms; working as an interior designer and freelance artist.

Tutoring Experience

I currently tutor a handful of students at both University and Secondary school level. I'm not a qualified teacher, but have in-depth experience with various mediums and the application of art and design into career choices.

Tutoring Approach

I specialise in coloured pencil, which is a wonderfully patient and versatile medium that teaches the artist about pressure, layer, colour, line, shape, perspective, texture and tone. All of these are incredibly useful for all artistic mediums including digital. I teach my students how to draw using pencils and coloured pencils, through a variety of 1-1 sessions running through the basics of drawing all the way through to in-depth tutorials on realistic portraiture.
