Alex Brown is and unusual Master of his Art; an outstanding teacher with a dedicated following. He doesn't just get late starters excited but even experienced artists find themselves quickly producing works way beyond thier previous level of competence. Alex creates a creative excitement which is felt with every class. Not to be missed his very original understanding of "Colour Theory"; and how he resolves old mysteries. Alex Brown is a seriously brilliant teacher, and really knows his stuff.

.......when I started attending his classes in his studio I discovered he was an inspiring teacher. After each of my seven or eight visits to his classes I have come away knowing that my insight and understanding of life drawing has been changed, but not necessarily fully aware at the time of the qualitative nature of the changes or the benefit to my development as an artist that are taking place. Alex does not impose but responds to ones own starting point. He will push one along the path you have started. He will build upon this and stretch you: but he always asks whether you want to be taught or just left alone to draw or paint. I like to be pushed and Alex is helping to instil in me, in my life drawing journey, an understanding of colour and tone, and technique, and above all a self confidence as an artist. His good models and their range of poses contributes to a challenging yet friendly and supportive learning studio environment and one I look forward to returning to when I can.’
