See below What Our Clients Have To Say About Us.

I so enjoyed my holiday with you all. Wonderful company, fabulous food, amazing scenery. Thank you Sue for your laid back but so useful tuition. The art experience was completely new to me and you subtly pushed us beyond our perceived limits and got us loosening up our styles of painting and composition. Very good! I hope we all keep in touch.

I have been on several of Sue’s courses and holidays. She is a very experienced and patient tutor and a good artist who gives freely of her knowledge and time and is always encouraging and helpful. Her courses are most enjoyable and I would recommend them to all artists whether they are beginners or more experienced. They usually comprise of a mix of ages, sexes and abilities and Sue makes sure that she spends time with everyone so they feel comfortable and confident.

Wendy

I wanted to thank you personally for the time you spent patiently tutoring out shreds of knowledge, with my limited creative ability over the last week. Apart from that, I will cherish lovely memories, captured in sketches of course, of painting in plain air – who would have imagined!- and enjoying giggles and generous G&Ts, in the sunshine. overlooking. You are a gem.

Peter S

Sue is an amazing tutor and painter. Very patient, attentive, knowledgeable and talented. I enjoy immensely going on Sue’s courses, particularly at the Red Lea. I have been attending Sue’s painting holidays for many years and always have a great time, make great friends and never want to head home but do with the knowledge that will soon be back.

Malcolm

I have taken Sue’s weekly watercolour classes for over five years, starting as an absolute beginner, and have also been on her weekend courses for oils, acrylics, and pastels. In 2022, my partner and I had a one-week watercolour painting holiday with Sue in rural Italy. Whatever the medium, location and length of session, Sue is a terrific teacher who has a lifetime of painting experience and knows how to encourage and develop your skills in a constructive and kind manner. Her classes are always warm, welcoming, instructional, and are an absolute pleasure to attend. I have no hesitation in recommending Sue’s classes and holidays to anyone, whatever their current skill level.
