I joined Ajay's at in the summer of 2007 - having painted previously for many years, but knowing deep down that I really did not know. In the beginning I learnt so much about the basics - the huge importance of fundamentals sick as blocking accurately, tonal values - things I had no previous knowledge about and I was amazed at how my work changed. Attention to detail was uppermost and draw what you see not what you think was repeated to one time and again. I so enjoy my weekly lessons here, the colourful students, the continuous reminder of lessons learnt and still to learn. I think I will be a life member - it is part of my life.
