My name is John Skelcher, and I am a professional landscape artist and have over 25 years of art tutoring experience. I have been teaching students of all levels of ability, from beginner’s to degree level. Whether I am teaching oil painting, drawing or watercolours , I always strive to bring out the best in my students and positively encourage them to develop confidence in their skills. I have taken many students on art trips to Italy and France and enjoy sharing my knowledge of painting techniques and the History of Art during the annual workshops and art retreats I teach for Painting Holiday Italy.
