Brian & Maggie

We are very happy to welcome Brian and Maggie back to Sainte Croix in 2011 - this time for two weeks. There enthusiasm, understanding manner and skills were much appreciated in previous years.

Maggie & Brian Robinson  work together as a team of well experienced tutors, running courses for students of all ages and from their home studio in Essex.

Brian comes from a family of artists and has loved painting since childhood.  He trained at Art School and ran his own graphic design business for 30 years. He has an innate ability to help people see things correctly, helping them to draw and paint with wonderful freedom.  He has exhibited and sold work for many years including with the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour in the Mall Galleries.  Brian is an Associate member of the Guild of Railway Artists.  See some of Brians work with trains at www.trainpaintings.co.uk.

Maggie, a graduate of Bedford College and London University, spent many years working with adult groups interrelating painting with other art forms.  She is passionate about painting and loves to help people develop their own style, "a journey that is exhilarating,challenging, frustrating, but above all enormous fun!" .  She has had several paintings selected for the Society of Women Artists exhibitions in Westminster and has also exhibited her work in the Mall Galleries in London.

Both Brian and Maggie paint and teach in all media but specialise in watercolour.
