Archive of student’s course feedback and reviews from almost every course delivered by Creative Art Courses since 2012
“Challenging but immensely rewarding.” Joe H We enjoyed a lovely weekend focusing on detail and structure. This course is always quieter and calmer than some of my other courses as more time is needed for focused concentration to achieve the high level of detail that is required to draw realistically. With a small group I […]
“Brilliant, learned loads.

All the students have given so much of thir enthusiasm and dedication on all the exercises and tasks […]

“You definitely gain information that you didn’t have before. You will enjoy a relaxed environment and gain experience. Jean G This was a small group of very keen students. Two had done the level 1 course. The others had not but showed great enthusiasm to improve their acrylic painting skills. In this course, students are […]
“The course was fun, educational, friendly, full of ideas to use at home to develop textures in the future.” Pam B This was the first 1-day version of the original 2-day weekend course on Mixed Media Textures. The new format worked a treat and the studio was awash with materials, experimentation and exploration of new […]
“I really enjoyed the course today. It was exactly what I needed to free up my creativity. Great teaching and a relaxing environment.” Kate W A wonderful creative day in the studio teaching one of the free-est and experimental of all the courses I offer – mark-making. Students embraced the ‘try-it-and-see’ attitude required for quality […]
“I learnt some good techniques – more than expected. Very enjoyable! Karen P Every course I teach has its own studio dynamics and this Realistic drawing course always creates a quiet focused studio. Critical observation when aiming for high accuracy takes concentration and quiet and I love this mood as it descends over the studio. […]
“Informative, fun, enjoyable, relaxed. I learnt a lot and feel confident having a go moving forward. Emily D This was a very busy class of 10 students who launched themselves enthusiastically into their painting exercises and were totally focussed throughout the weekend. They got along extremely well from the start, supporting and inspiring each other […]
“Great fun, with a lot of content. Great to try out so many different ideas. Juliet C A fabulous group of students all willing to support each other and take on board my teaching – even during the few challenging bits! I enjoyed supporting everyone to put the basics of drawing into practice and explore […]

I was hoping to reopen the door to my creative inspiration and taking this class has allowed me to do so.” Kemi S The Cezanne workshop is the first in a series of 3 workshops about the Modern Masters – Cezanne, Matisse […]
“It’s a ‘must do’.

From calm and focused to wildly energetic, experimental, and creative. […]

Fabulous students looking to learn the basics of drawing and painting and ensure they learn the important stuff that will help them develop and improve. A great group of students, the atmosphere in the studio was so […]
“Very enjoyable though challenging at times. Hadn’t realised it would be so radical.” Debbie R A wonderful summer course with early evening sunshine streaming through the windows – always makes such a difference. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching this course with the studio full of students yearning to find a new approach to drawing and perception. […]
“I feel that my way of being in relation to art has monumentally changed from my experience on this course.” Hazel B It was wonderful to be joined by 7 students on this Self-expression course – the final section of the year-long Art + Creativity course.
