As an artist, how did you learn how to paint? How did you learn the best process for blocking out colour, for adding shadows, or creating texture? It is an ongoing debate as to whether or not it is necessary to invest in an art school or to undertake any kind of formal education in order to learn new skills and to be a true master of the art form
Even with the most natural of burning talents, it cannot be argued that having a great mentor to challenge you and spur you on is one of the best ways to develop any kind of creativity. When an artist finds the perfect mind or sparring partner to unlock true artistic potential it can be a match made in heaven, but finding the appropriate guide or tutor to help with this can often be tricky.
The BBC are looking for artists across the nation to offer them just this.
Would you like to receive intensive tuition to unlock your potential and improve your painting skills?
