GAY O'TOOLE
Gay trained in Fine Art at Dublin's college of Art and Design. He
has since established himself as a very well known and respected
artist throughout Ireland, taking part in many solo and group
exhibitions. Gay works mainly with water colour but can teach
anything, and the influence of the landscape and its light is
strongly reflected in his paintings. He is a natural teacher with a
great sense of humour and we are pleased to welcome him on
board.

DAVID CHANDLER
10th - 17th May & 17th - 24th May 2008
David is returning to Studio Paradiso for his thrid year in 2008 and
we are very pleased to be welcoming him back. David has a great
personality and our guests find his relaxed teaching style both
encouraging and enjoyable. He has been teaching painting groups
in France, Italy, Marrakech & the Lake District since 1999. You may
have seen him in action on Channel 4, or maybe you have heard him
lecture at your local art club. After seven years in community
education in Somerset, David decided to go it alone - a wise move,
as around 85 people a week attend his private classes. He has also
just produced his very own dvd! You can see his own work on the
web at: www.davidchandler.net.

JO CHAPMAN BA. Hon
14th - 21st June 2008
It's Jo's first year at Studio Paradiso and she can't wait to
experience the fantastic painting opportunities with the students
in this exceptional environment.
Everyone has a unique vision and Jo's skill is to encourage the
individual to make a mark and enjoy the experience without the
anxiety of making the first mark!
Her enthusiasm is infectious, if you are a beginner Jo will inspire
confidence and recognise your potential, if a more established
painter Jo will share her knowledge in the hope to enrich an
individuals vision. Jo studied Fine Art at Brighton University and her
love and passion in landscape painting continues to this day.
A week with Jo promises to be rewarding.

back for yet another fun filled week. According to our visitors Ivan
is wonderful - immensely flexible - able to inspire all ages, all
abilities. He is a former high school art teacher who works closely
with each student, developing the natural talent and particular
aptitude that they already have. To quote Ivan: 'If you are prepared
to make a mark on paper, that's a valid starting point'. Ivan is also a
knowledgeable art historian. His slide shows are brilliantly
informative yet totally relaxed.
