About the Tutor: Sue McMaster

I have been practicing art for as long as I can remember, drawing, painting and colour mixing have long been the language I use to communicate. (don’t get me wrong … I’m a good talker too!). I started drawing seriously in my teens and discovered portraiture while I was still at school. After dabbling in oils for a while I eventually discovered pastels and worked exclusively in that medium for 12 years. For the last decade I have been working in acrylics and am still in love with that medium.

As a painter though, it is very apparent that drawing is the starting point for everything I do. I’m a firm believer in catching them young and have been teaching pre-schoolers art for years. After volunteering in classrooms for 6 years I started an education degree which eventually morphed into a Creative Arts degree. I continue to teach children’s art but more recently began running Fundamental Drawing workshops for adults. Surprisingly the initial content is the same. Everyone needs to start with the same basic building blocks of experience when learning to draw.

I’ve done a bit of everything from book illustrating to portrait commissions, from group exhibitions to solo shows, from kids parties to serious one on one instruction. I love to share my knowledge and experience with others and enjoy helping each class member find their style, their “voice” so to speak, because drawing is a way of communicating and each person has their own way of making marks.
