I thoroughly enjoyed Gerald’s palette knife workshop. His tutoring was clear, relaxed and fun, and easy to follow, even for the less experienced. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, and have in fact already told several people about it. I hope to see more of these in the future.

Many many thanks Gerald for a VERY informative and enjoyable workshop. Truly Bayswater Art Society loved the whole session. You are a natural teacher and we could all see what you were doing and hear your very clear instructions. The results were fantastic! On behalf of the club we wish you every success with the web site and future exhibitions and hopefully see you again.

This is just a note to thank you for your excellent recent workshop Gerald. As usual you displayed a high degree of professionalism and knowledge coupled with a friendly, encouraging manner. Your classes are always enjoyable and importantly your style of teaching, which is focused and structured, enables real learning to take place. I particularly appreciated your emphasis on tone and the 'blocking in' method you taught and found it to be very helpful. Thank you and I look forward to the next workshop!

Gerald held a workshop for members of the Trigg Art Club W.A and it was a most successful and enjoyable morning. Gerald placed a photo of a hillside landscape on an easel for reference. Members were invited to gather around as he talked us through how to start. We then tried to emulate what he had done using acrylics and palette knife. Challenging for many of us who had never painted with a palette knife before. Gerald was walking around advising and encouraging. At each stage of the workshop he talked us through what we needed to do, then supported us as we attempted to work towards the image we were working from.
Many thanks Gerald

I can recommend Gerald as a tutor or demonstrator to anyone. He is so easy to be with and gets the best out of artists. Since the workshop the club has had many members asking when he can do another workshop. We will be happy to invite him back.

Prior to joining Gerald's Abstract Workshop I had no experience painting since I left school several decades ago. With great patience, Gerald guided our group through colours, mixing shades & different techniques with the palette knife, brush to good old gravity.
From being very apprehensive at the beginning, I gained much needed confidence with Gerald’s step by step approach. My opinion of my own ability has grown in a positive way since these workshops & I now look forward to putting brush to canvas on a regular basis.
