Multi media training I have worked with Ajay for many a year now! Started with oils after his initial basic training which included a portrait using black and white chalks and a work using soft pastels. The oils were certainly my first love and I will never give up on this wonderful medium which Ajay teaches so well. I started painting quite realistically but moved from there to do some more semi abstract work always with Ajay’s excellent help and knowledge backing me. I have completed a few portraits, a seascape, some still life work and as mentioned before, the semi abstracts in oil. I have had so much fun and really enjoyed doing a few mixed media using fat charcoals, coffee, turps and oils. Again Ajay was behind me all the way. More recently I attended a short morning workshop run by Ajay using water colour paints. Such a wonderful different way to paint. This wonderful teacher really knows how to use and teach this medium. I am enjoying every minute of this new experience. I am always amazed at Ajay’s teaching ability to handle what ever ideas I throw at him in whatever medium. A very special teacher who I will always admire. Thank you Teach!
