Private Instruction
Instruction/tutoring in my Glasgow studio (Merchant City) or online. Discover the benefits of intensive personal guidance while learning new techniques or brushing up on your skills with the subject of your choice in oils, watercolour, or graphite/charcoal.
I am a lover of process and clarity. As a person who prefers straightforwardness in my own studies and pursuits, I work to design a learning language that makes sense for my students. I will teach you how to develop an instinct and selective eye for constructing form in stages, starting simply, then building in complexity. This approach will work for many subjects, including the portrait & figure, landscapes, and still life. So there is lots for you to explore and enjoy. As you need, we will discuss theory and materials in great depth, preparing you to embrace the subject and medium of your choice with confidence. All levels of experience are welcome.
£35/hr per individual. Additional student/group rate (2 student maximum) and multi-session packages available at a discount. Contact for further questions and availability. jasonmbentley@jmbportfolio.com

Single color paintings can be great practice for composition or subject studies, and pretty cool looking finished paintings on their own! They help free us from multicolor complexities to focus more on what we need to know about form modeling. This is an excellent class for those interested in portraiture but don't yet have much experience!
