Davina Owen (Mini), who has the knack of teaching both beginners and the more experienced, believes that everyone should at least try their hand at painting. She also runs days teaching Drawing, Portraiture, Introducing Oils or Watercolour, and bespoke Art Courses for a group of friends who would like to paint together with instruction.
Brought up in Gloucestershire, Davina (known to all as Mini) studied in Florence with Signorina Simi and English Portrait painter, Geoffrey Rawlins. Beginners and accomplished artists alike flourish under Mini’s unthreatening and encouraging tuition. Her teaching is proof that ‘everyone can paint’. With the emphasis on individual attention, blank paper paralysis vanishes, confidence grows and the chances of producing a masterpiece becomes a definite possibility.
From a happy student...,"I so enjoy the art classes, and the atmosphere you have created in The Coach House makes it a wonderful place to work in - pure joy."
