Maggie from Ireland Said, “Engaging and expert tutor that loves to share his passion for painting. Just spent 3 days learning to paint with acrylics in Dermot’s home studio located outside Dungannon. The course was excellent, and Dermot is an engaging and experienced tutor that made us all feel welcome and at ease. I feel more confident and able to work with this medium and left with a lovely painting to boot. The course was carried out in a relaxing manner, well paced and met our individual needs. Dermot is an engaging and positive person with a proven ability to share his passion for painting and he is also a bit of a raconteur who kept us entertained throughout. Dermot and Maria made us feel welcome and are great hosts, but I have to say the craic was mighty and I left feeling I’d made new friends as well as gained new skills”.

Incredibly valuable for giving a beginner great instruction and confidence. Learnt so many techniques and valuable info about mixing and composition. Fully intend to do a follow-on course. I would recommend the course to anyone.

My very first art lesson and I thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt such a lot. All I need now is practise, practice, practice And probably another course in a month or so. Well done Dermot and Thank you for your patience.

The 3 day course on watercolours was very informative and thoroughly enjoyable. The course was very well organised and the pace of learning was really appropriate. I really liked the practical art work broken up into technical tutorials and painting hacks. Dermot, your story telling really complimented the activities.

Very impressed with the amount of knowledge imparted by Dermot over the 3 days. Very enjoyable and relaxed way of teaching. Dermot’s many stories broke up the more intense periods of learning.
