"inspirational -- thats how I would begin to describe my short time with
you last week. The course has given me far more than described in the
literature to the extent I am now having to actively seek my own studio
space. Thank you again for all your encouragement  and expertise."

efforts

then I would expect nothing else from you.
Please tell Martin that I have had some good comments and a few
WOWs when my friends have seen my painting.
Now I feel I can really push myself forward.  My 'old' paintings look
so heavy and laboured.  Watch this space.
Thanks again

Thank you so much for the great painting course.  Gabrielle and I really
enjoyed it - it is lovely to be taught by such an enthusiastic teacher and I
Please don't forget to send us details of next year's courses when you have
decided on them.
Dear Martin and Jane,
Very many thanks for all your help in making it such a magical week. You
must both be feeing pretty knackered and anti-climatic today. I am sure
everyone was highly delighted with what they learnt and  their progression.

Martin I think you are a super teacher. The best I have had so far. I
learned a good deal, and have already started four new paintings(small
ones) whilst everything is fresh in my mind.
Jane, thank you so much for your hospitality. The lunches were
delicious, the accommodation was lovely and I have to say I did miss
being there for quite a few days after coming back.        JV Holiday June 09
Dear Martin and Jane
good introduction to oils for me.  I and
feel I have gained an insight into, or
inkling of,  the subject and must find
time to really work at this to learn
more.  Your teaching style is excellent
Martin - very clear and helpful and well
structured, all within such a friendly
informal and supportive environment
which soon calmed my shaking hand
with oil paint for the first time.

Thank you for the course I finished yesterday.
  I learnt more in 5 days than in years of art
classes three times a week..........

The people on the course were all delightful
and the atmosphere was great.   Jane, the
food was superb and the whole course was
beautifully organised.

Many thanks to Martin, Jane, Tim and
Lucy for making the last week so
enjoyable.  When I filled in your form I
was unable to pick out what I enjoyed
the most as the tuition, food, facilities
and the cottage were all so good.

Brian Holiday Sept 09
practical assistance, the studio facilities,
food (delicious) and company were all
fabulous.

Dear Martin and Jane,

Thank you for a fantastic course on light & atmosphere  -
the tuition was more than i could have hoped for.  I am
now putting in the hours of practice needed to continue
improving.  The advice martin gave me was invaluable -
especially about local colour and the importance of
working away from the photograph

Diana Light & Atmosphere April 09
The facilities are excellent, the tuition is
masterful, the demonstrations are
inspirational. The team spirit of all the
