Sarah Hedley, Art Tutor, Art Classes and Portraiture
I am an artist and art tutor living and working in Coventry and Warwickshire. I am a qualified artist and art tutor. I teach Drawing and Painting individually to students over 18. I teach on the subjects of drawing, watercolour painting and oil painting. My teaching style is friendly and purposeful. All with an interest in art are welcome.
Watercolour Class 1
Gilbert
Private Tuition
I teach on an individual basis according to the students requirements in the Coventry and Warwickshire area.
My tuition is based very much on what is required by the student and a given structure is established according to their needs. I can teach in oil painting, watercolour, inks, pencil crayon, pastels, charcoal and pencil. I will cover proportion, line drawing, tonal work and colour mixing from the primary palette also.
cost of tuition: 1 hour tuition at £30 per hour.
Testimonial from a student:
“I have enjoyed 8 one-to-one drawing lessons with Sarah. Having no previous experience of drawing, I was really pleased with the drawings I did. Sarah is student-centred, she excels at drawing the best out of her students. I really liked how she drew the same scene next to me. This meant I didn’t feel she was watching me (no pressure) and since she was always a bit ahead of me, I had an idea of what I was aiming for. Sarah is very flexible, she can teach lots of different techniques and will draw the best out of you with only a few tips.” Sylvie Bigant, 2018

Hello Sarah,
How inspiring is your site to a very despondent, recently redundant Art teacher. My dream is to write and illustrate books for children though did not have the opportunity to. Any advice from a successful practitioner such as yourself would be most appreciated.
Kind regards.

Sian! i hope you are now less despondent and also hope that I did send you some advice about writing and illustrating childrens books. If you would like to meet that might be good. However, I am trying to get into illustration work myself. I suggest you get a portfolio of work together of Illustrations that are your best work. Show how you can illustrate a range of subjects such as people animals interiors vehicles buildings landscape. I went to the London Book Fair there is a small corner of the fair devoted to childrens books. You could take your work around there. Any other queries please dont hesitate to ask. All the best. Let me know how you have got on. Sarah Hedley

Dear Sarah
I’m not sure whether you will receive this but trying anyway. If you are in contact with any others in the group, I’d appreciate it if you would pass it on, although I am writing to each of the tutors individually.
Julia Larden’s partner, Mick, has asked me to pass on the sad news that Julia passed away on 4th June after a prolonged battle with cancer.
If anyone would like to attend the funeral or pay respects I will let you know when I have the details.
She will be missed by so many of us in education and politics as she was such a driving force and a great encouragement. I owe her so much.
Regards
Elaine
