TESTIMONIALS

Al,s art classes 2021 were a great way to develop my artists skillset. With up to only 6 students per session in a 3 hour block there is lots of opportunity for individual mentoring. 40 years career expertise translates to a teacher who understands how to guide you in any media you would like to explore. Al also holds regular drawing classes monthly which have improved my painting of the human form .An added bonus is we get to witness and be inspired by a producing artist in his own studio. The biggest plus for me is his lessons are student driven.

He guides the artistic process as much or as little as I need.

Very highly recommended.

In 2011 I began attending art mentoring workshops with Al. Immediately I noticed he had a real enthusiasm for tailoring his mentoring to each students personal artistic goals.

His depth of experience is amazing, and yet he conveys this in a modest way and is not prescriptive in his teaching style.

Al provides me with honest appraisals of my work and encourages me to try new and different approaches , without me feeling overwhelmed or unsupported. I enjoy his friendly banter and his tales of the art world.I have formed great friendships with other students and we support each other in our endeavours.

My week would feel incomplete without his art mentoring.

I'd always wanted to move on from some basic pencil drawing and try my hand at colour. Bought the watercolour goods and pretty much gave myself a fail mark. Stymied! A flyer from a friend got me to alanmorrisonstudio. 10 classes on and another round started and crikey , I wish I'd found him a long time ago. If you want intuitive tutoring in any medium by an artist with loads of experience and technical competence then Al fits the bill.

Easy to be around , a welcoming casual workspace and his support has brought me to a happy and productive drawing/painting art time in my life. Thanks Al

The Art classes with Alan are immensely rewarding , he provides one on one instruction in a relaxed environment and as a beginner I have gained a lot of knowledge and skill.

Erin Cameron 2021

I have been having lessons from Alan for 12 months now and I am very much a beginner. i Have explored mixed media , and through being mentored I have loved learning abstract acrylic with him. His teaching style is fun and relaxed and he always makes me look at my art objectively; really helped me push the boundaries to explore composition and colour. I absolutely love my 3 hours of learning and our group is small and encouraging. I have recently looked at my paintings from the last year and I absolutely love each one of them.

Tracey Ivanovsky 2021

Alans art classes have become the best 3 hours in my week! Having little to no experience he has provided an enthusiastic, supportive and patient space for me to develop my hobby. I enjoy my time immensely and would highly recommend.
