Christopher has taught art at schools, colleges & adult education for over 30 years.  He really enjoys the challenge of bringing his extensive knowledge & experience to his lessons.  He encourages diversity & experimentation so that all his students develop their own personal style. 

​​

Due to the constant stream of commission work he restricts his tuition to two private daytime classes in Godalming in Surrey on Mondays & Headley in Hampshire on Tuesdays which are for painting a wide range of subjects from landscape to portrait.  He also runs a Wednesday evening class in Headley which is exclusively for figure drawing & painting.  Every few months he holds specialist Saturday workshops.  All media are taught, so to learn how to use those oils, acrylics or water colours please get in touch with Christopher colestudio@btinternet.com
