Online Courses with Ian Scott Massie

I've been teaching art for over 30 years, finding new, constructive ways to open the door to a fascinating world. The result is this series of art courses.

My courses consist of videos and worksheets based on the courses I've taught and developed in that time using well-proven projects. They are produced in collaboration with Happy House Masham.

My online courses provide a relaxed, accessible approach to the medium of watercolour.

The advantages of an online course are:

tackle the modules at your own pace
repeat exercises and projects until you're ready to move on
email support and comment on your work available

Creative Writing Courses with Ian Scott Massie

Ways of Seeing
with Ian Scott Massie
Have you ever thought:
“I haven’t a creative bone in my body”?
Ways of Seeing is unlike any other online course because it’s not about turning you into a painter, musician or poet, instead it focuses on how to find your creative voice. It’s a unique chance to look behind the scenes of an artist, musician and poet’s mind and understand the different ways there are of seeing the world. And this will in turn lead to how to access your own creativity.
Why is this important?
Because creative expression can lead us to feeling happier and connect us more meaningfully to the world around us.
Because everyone sees things differently, each person will gain a unique experience from this course.
