TUITION Niel Bally received a traditional training from the Ruskin School of Fine Art and Drawing in Oxford and the West Surrey College of Art and Design. Since the 1980s he has run his own courses and taught in a number of art schools and adult education colleges. He has exhibited widely and some examples of his work can be viewed on this website. Underpinning Niel's teaching abilities is a significant breadth of experience and understanding of both modern and traditional approaches to representational and abstract art. His courses are practical, skill-based and suitable for all levels including beginners. Their aim is to encourage, provide direction and the means for someone to develop their own work and broaden their appreciation of art from both a modern and historical perspective.             click on the images to enlarge
