About the Artist

Your Tutor Malcolm T MacDonald is in his early fifties, he has been painting since his childhood, and has been a professional artist and teacher for the last twelve years.
An honours graduate in Fine Art from the University of York and a Masters in Painting from The University of Hull, combined with ten years of teaching practice at all levels has provided him with a wealth of experience.
Malcolm has an easy friendly style of teaching, which has proven to get the best out of his students, whatever level you may be at whether a total beginner or able to work at a more advanced level you will find the pace of delivery is tuned to your own ability.

Malcolm has exhibited both in the UK with a recent show at the Hellenic Centre, London in 2005, and also most recently with a successful showing in Greece. Malcolm spends as much time as possible painting studies on site in and around the northern area of Corfu, and also in western Crete. His work is sought by a number of collectors and he is currently preparing a body of work for another show in Corfu.
