Pam Kelly​​

" Having previously studied contemporary art practice under Angus at D&A College, I was delighted to have the opportunity to take part in his workshop on alternative watercolour techniques. It was great to again experience Angus' relaxed and informative teaching style, with mesmerising demonstrations, and expert guidance when 'having a go' at practicing his techniques. I think Angus is a fantastic artist but appreciate that he generously shares his techniques in an engaging and enthusiastic way through workshops and teaching." Good luck with your on-line course.
