About The Artist
Surrey artist, Maggie Read was trained at the University of the Creative Arts where she studied Graphic Design and Illustration. She worked as a freelance illustrator for several years before having a family and re-launching her career as an Art Tutor in Adult Education. Maggie continued to paint and accept commissions for portraits and illustrations. Ten years ago she opened Pirbright Art Club in Surrey and regularly organises and runs exhibitions, outdoor painting days, workshops, art holidays and private classes.
Experienced in teaching most media, Maggie's strengths are in pencil and charcoal drawing; watercolours; pen and wash and pastels. She is skilled in showing students how to achieve interesting composition and prepare sketches for paintings. Demonstrations are clear, and colour-mixing is kept simple.
Maggie demonstrates to art groups and societies as well as in her regular classes. Figures and portraits, landscapes, seascapes and still-life are among the many subjects which she teaches.
