As I reached my teens the dancing became a huge part of my life and eventually I became a professional ballet dancer so art took a bit of a back seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I have grown older my love for the arts has never stopped and it was during lock down as my Pilates business shut for a while I discovered London College of Art and I signed&nbsp; up for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.londonartcollege.co.uk\/art-courses\/drawing-painting-diploma-course\/\">Drawing and Painting course<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with dancing I have learnt how practising technique is of the utmost important but also I discovered a passion especially for watercolour which medium was totally new to me. Infact the different painting mediums was my favourite unit. I struggled with the oil painting at first but with some excellent guidance from Paul Weaver a lot of practise and determination I fell in love with the oils.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also found working with shading fascinating having never done this before. How light and shade can bring a drawing to life was amazing to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was lucky in the last unit knowing about the anatomy from a dancing and teaching Pilates perspective and again I must admit to becoming obsessive with drawing different parts of the anatomy whenever I could find the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole course was a big learning curve and I have loved everything about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul Weaver is an excellent and intuitive professional artist who&#8217;s teaching and continuous encouragement was not only amazing but humbling too. He is very talented and such a lovely person.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He brought out in me a love for art that I want to continue and develop. A huge thank you to him and the London Art College for everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"1338\"
