Testimonials

“Promised myself I would take up oil painting one day and couldn't believe how it surpassed all my expectations. Many thanks to Lucie it was an amazing experience with pictures worthy of wall space by the end of the first term!! I am hooked.”

"Having never used oils before or done a lot of painting with other mediums, I’m amazed at the results I’ve achieved. 

"As well as Lucie’s’ technical knowledge being passed on, it’s her sense of humour and enthusiasm for painting that rubs off the most making learning a new skill relaxed and easy. I’m now hooked and can’t wait for a new term to begin”
