Watercolour by Trine Pettigrew 

The course was excellent: it felt very relaxed and there was a good balance between teaching and time to do your own work. Trine helped us to draw without feeling inhibited about the result, which was very freeing and great fun. I felt that I learnt a lot, but more importantly I left feeling a lot more confident and inspired to continue painting. I would definitely go again! 

 

(and the food was delicious!)
