 Hello, my name is David Coupe . I am a self-taught artist and have been painting for about 50 years and about 15 of those teaching art. I started to paint professionally on having to take early retirement due to ill health and I've enjoyed teaching others to enjoy this wonderful hobby. I now run to our classes, Saturday workshop once a month and painting holidays. I mainly paint these days in watercolour, but also in oils and pastel. My aim is to stop beginners to watercolour painting into the traps that I had to work my way through, and there were many.
I now have a busy time giving demonstrations and exhibitions, but I get most enjoyment through teaching others and seeing the enjoyment they get from. I work from home in a purpose-built studio that I believe has a good working atmosphere. I now spend most of my time in the studio.
Learning to paint is not a quick process and it is important you take your time and enjoy the process. Some people find it very difficult to learn in large groups and so I limit my groups to a maximum of six, this way I have able to give everybody greater one-to-one tuition. So many of my students complain about the tutor not been able to get around to seeing them and this I do my best to avoid.
Sketching days around Derbyshire
These are just single days, on a Saturday. If you are interested in taking part on these please let me have your name and address and telephone number and I will notify you of the day's. Assistance and materials can be supplied were necessary. If you are a complete beginner please let me know so I can arrange extra tuition for you.
painting demos
I am also available for painting demos either at my studio or a painting demo at your location. My studio is capable of holding approximately 12 with tea and coffee making facilities available. Please contact me if either is of interest to you.
