Halina is an incredible teacher. She has a broad and thorough knowledge across many mediums. She has the skill of recognising the need of each student and tailors her approach to each individual. I am astonished how much my drawing has improved in just two lessons!

What a wonderful day full of learning in a relaxed and beautiful environment. Halina you are the most wonderful teacher, full of knowledge, enthusiasm and a pure love of art and the learning, creative process. All that plus your humour made this the best workshop I have ever been to.

You structured the tasks and the day so well that it all built in simple steps. You challenged me to push past my comfort zone which made me change my way of thinking and doing. This let my art flow.

And surprisingly, although you kept us working intensely every minute, I felt very relaxed at the end of the day, which everyone else remarked on too.

Thank you also for your individual attention, not just to me, you observed and met everyone’s specific needs throughout all that teaching. I was shocked at how much I learnt so easily and am excited for more.

It’s amazing the quality of what she learns and does with you

It was a pleasure to be in the presence of a great teacher. As the model for the class, I was witness to the students’ evolution in drawing. Watching Halina delicately push them into new techniques, I was pleasantly surprised at the skill and standard these students worked at, producing life drawings of a high calibre. The energy in the room was supportive, challenging and satisfying, as the students developed before my eyes.

I was so impressed with not only your extensive talent as an artist but with your ability to communicate your knowledge to learners of various levels of understanding.
You showed not only patience but your energy level throughout the whole day was amazing and was just as strong at the end of the day as it was at the beginning. Plus there was that personal touch of humour as well to keep it all interesting.

I would certainly recommend you as a teacher any day to anybody!

I have found extreme pleasure in learning different art techniques in Halina’s art class! Within such a short time and to my pleasant surprise from ‘kid like’, fun drawings we become able to create something I never thought possible!

She is an amazingly gifted and tuned in artist capable to transfer in a short time her profound knowledge in different art techniques to everyone who wants to learn to draw or paint .

Her focus, kindness, commitment and dedication to every student is supreme. We look forward to seeing her again. Thank you Halina!
— Lilly, The Art of Life Drawing participant, 2019

It is astounding in the way Halina delivers her courses; getting us out of our comfort zone and looking at different perspectives in how to build a picture or drawing so that we are actually proud of what we do.

Her knowledge, skills and the way she teaches is impressive and I will always be grateful that I had this opportunity.
Thank you Halina eternally.

Very pleasant experience with Halina, always.   She knows how to teach and get us out of our comfort zones and switched to right brain observing.   I gained a lot of confidence.

Halina is inspirational, encouraging and thoroughly enjoyable. Not threatening at all and this has opened the door to another enjoyable hobby. I really enjoyed the group dynamic too.

Halina’s teaching style is excellent with material well organised.   I loved it, it was creative and fun.   Even though I worked hard I actually relaxed.

Super fun.  Halina can explain things very well.  There was a very good feeling in the group.
— Life Drawing workshop beginner

Halina’s life-drawing classes are instructive and very informative covering many different methods with lots of examples to follow, teaching how to ‘see’ the subject. As a model, I got to listen and observe as Halina clearly sets the class task then makes sure she spends focused time with each of the artists, ensuring they get a good grasp of all mediums, techniques and tools to take away from the workshop.
