"Julian encourages students to use their own individual style, incorporate new techniques and reconsider the way they look at art. His relaxed manner also means that the lessons are always fun."
Louise Fordham, 21, student
“Here in Italy, I and 3 of my geriatric friends asked Julian to give us some art lessons. I, for one, having done next to no painting before. He accepted, and that began a journey for me more thrilling than is explainable.
He not only teaches the various mediums of drawing and painting, but he frequently takes us into the world of art history that surrounds us in this amazing country. Places we would never have known about and paintings or frescoes that tell stories of times gone by and which come alive in front of us. He is interesting and passionate about his art and his enthusiasm is inspiring. Long may the journey continue and I recommend to others that they come and experience some of the same”.

“I have travelled extensively in Italy with various guides, but the days with Julian have been among the best I’ve experienced. Each place or work of art we visit has come alive for us when Julian shares his extensive knowledge about whatever it is we are viewing. I am very grateful that my husband and I settled in this part of Italy and I can truly say that Julian’s wonderful teaching has greatly enriched my life. He is a true teacher, one whose passion for his subject is inspiring.”
