15 Successful Years!
My Cat's Whiskers Courses for Beginners, Improvers and Advanced students were started in 1995. Since then several hundred students have enrolled, worked, enjoyed and completed their courses with me and I have hand-written just over 2,000 assessments to tell them how well they have done and how they can continue to learn and improve their drawing and painting skills and become more confident with their layouts. To celebrate this, I have decided to reduce the enrolment fees for the rest of 2010. The Beginners'/Improvers Courses will now be £120.00, but a further reduction of £5.00 will come into effect if the enrolment form is returned with the fee within 14 days.

Introduction
Have you always wanted to try your hand at watercolours? Perhaps you have a set of paints in the cupboard but are apprehensive about where to start. Have you always wanted to know how to draw - would you like to use your spare time to improve those drawing skills you know are lurking in you somewhere? Then read on, It’s possible I have just what you need!

	I am Jenny Trotman, a graduate of St. Martin's School of Art, London and I have enjoyed drawing and painting since I was very small. I have devised these Art courses so that you too can enjoy painting or drawing to the full - whatever the level of expertise you have reached so far. My correspondence courses are easy, relaxed and thorough. If you apply now you could find yourself drawing in lots of different media, or dabbling in watercolours in just a few weeks.

How the Home Study Courses Work
Each of my courses has seven exclusive copyright lessons, with some easy tasks to do. Students will find that they gradually gain confidence as they work their way through these at their own pace. Each lesson also has homework topics to choose from and when the finished piece is complete it is sent to me for my comments. The homework helps me to see how well you are progressing. I will mention the good points about your homework, show you your strengths and will suggest what specific techniques you might like to try, to help you improve. The next lesson will be included when I return your work, along with my evaluation and comments. It is easy and straightforward to do. Take as much time as you like. Most people will take three or four weeks to complete each lesson and send in the homework, but you can relax and work at a pace which suits you. There is no time limit to any of my courses. If you are worried about any aspect of your course you can either write to me, or phone me in the evenings. You can be sure that I give my students my undivided attention.
Each lesson has several worksheets: These introduce each lesson’s topic and have illustrations and diagrams to help you, and ideas about different media and techniques you could use. There are sheets of illustrated notes on various areas of work, such as using tone, colour, texture and perspective. I also include some historical background about artists, craftsmen and trends where this might be helpful. At the end of each course you will get a Cat’s Whiskers’ certificate.
