Hello!
I would like to add my own testimonial to the course that I have just finished with Melanie Phillips and to say how much I enjoyed it. Melanie is a very good and approachable tutor who always responded to my questions almost immediately. She offers lots of guidance and advice and takes time in doing so. She has given me the confidence to move forward with pet portraiture and if I ever achieve a fraction of her own abilities I would be thrilled!
The cartoon course I have just started is a different challenge altogether!
Best wishes

Dear Mr Fisher
I have today, received my final submission together with my Diploma. Thank you.I would like to take this opportunity to thank Linda for her honest and in depth constructive critism of my submissions. I have learn't so much from listening to the tapes and re looking at my work - I seem to see with Linda's eyes and then proceed to correct areas where perhaps perspective or proportion was lacking. I have listened to my tapes over and over and have been inspired to apply my hand, with confidence, to a new painting. I have so enjoyed my nine months of study, my study time each day was the highlight of my day ! I am seriously looking at doing your watercolour and guache course, and will revert to you as soon as I am financially in a position to do so - I also note that there is a 20% discount on a second course if I enroll in the next three months - I sincerely believe I shall !I would like to thank all who facilitated my queries concerning my submissions. I always received a prompt response - most times on the same day!! The only time there seemed to be a lack of communication was during your move to new premises, this of course, is understandable. Thank you for your effecient, professional manner in which you have dealt with me.Kind regards Caroline Willmore

Dear Sir/Madam,I just wanted to write and thank you for all the help I received during two courses I did with the London Art College.I successfully completed the Painting and Drawing Diploma and The Children’s Book Illustration course, both passed with a merit grade, which has given me a good base to start with as now I have enrolled on a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design at my local college.Doing both of the courses gave me the courage to carry on with my art and perhaps I will be able to make a living out of it
Please would you pass on my thanks to Linda O’Gorman and Jan Nesbitt for all their help and constructive criticism.I will thoroughly recommend you to anyone who wishes to do this type of course in their own home. I will keep in touch with my progress over the next couple of years.

| Dear Mr Fisher, Thank you for the Water-colour and Gouache Certificate I received this morning. I was really pleased to know that i have done so well. I would like to say that my teacher Mrs Jan Nesbitt is a fine teacher in Water-colour and Gouache painting. She is very kind and up building with her students. A Great teacher. I am a little sorry that the course has finished in a way, because it was really nice to hear her voice on the tapes telling me where i had made a mistake in my latest work to her. But very up building when i had done well. A great teacher.I have found the London Art College is the place if any one want's to learn to paint. I only wish that i was a much younger man. I am seventy five years of age, but i have really enjoyed learning to paint in water colour and i have got a better understanding of painting in water-colour now.I would like to thank Jan Nesbitt for helping me so much during my water-colour course. Also i would like to thank everyone that work's so hard in running the London art College.Yes, you are all doing a great job in teaching student's like me.God bless you allYours sincerely Ernest Taylor |

| Thank you for your useful comments. I think the combination of audio tape and overlay is brilliant and I feel sure I will go back to them time and again. -- I cannot believe how much my work has improved in such a short space of time." |

I did enjoy the course....my tutor was very kind and helpful. My drawing did improve. Thank you for a good course"

I am happier with these later pieces of work as they seem to be less overworked and have a certain clarity that my first attempts lacked. The course notes gave an excellent tip of keeping the pictures small. This has been a great help to me...and I started to see an improvement."

I did find the last series of exercises challenging. I enjoyed doing it and with the completion of every piece, I feel more confident and excited about going further."
