Leith School of Art Foundation course.

“I was a bit different from Julie’s ‘usual’ student. As an adult who discovered my love of Art through evening classes, I’d quit my job to join the Painting Course at Leith School of Art and had used the Portfolio Oomph eBook downloads to prepare my application.

Originally, I contacted Julie the summer before my course looking for help to produce ‘finished works’.

I felt that through evening classes I never got the chance to finish things and I wasn’t sure how artists developed work to a finished piece.

In reality I got so much more!

Having never studied Art at school, sketchbooks were completely new to me.

Julie helped me to understand the creative process and how to develop project ideas through my sketchbook.

She got me thinking in new and creative ways and made me realize you can start the artistic journey without an end goal or image in mind.

She also taught me to enjoy exploring – no more perfectionism!”

Fiona studied for success on my Mentoring Programme.

This article was written by Julie Read, a leading educator in the Creative Industries, as featured in The Guardian newspaper, on a mission to create a legacy to ‘unlock your creative genius’.

My passion and mission is your art portfolio, to help to get you that place at college or university.

CLARITY, in particular around the creative process, sketchbooks, and what the Colleges actually want to see are the founding principles.
