Before the days of having a studio and when I only had limited time for developing an art practice, I worked through two years of distance learning with Paintbox School of Art. Having a structure and deadlines to follow was good discipline and Jemma Derbyshire’s feedback was invaluable.  

Paintbox School of Art is based at Cockenzie House near Edinburgh where different tutors deliver a selection of courses through the year. I highly recommend having a browse around their website to see what is on offer.
