David Thompson

Manchester

Good course overall. The acrylic techniques were well explained and I learned proper brush handling. My only note would be that the course ran slightly over schedule - finished at 6:15pm instead of 6pm on two occasions, which made my train connection tight. The materials provided were professional grade though, which I appreciated.

Brilliant value for £285. The portrait painting course covered everything from proportion measurement to colour mixing for skin tones. I came in as a complete beginner and left with a finished portrait that my family couldn't believe I painted. The instructor's feedback was constructive and specific.

The course met my expectations for learning oil painting basics. Instruction was clear and the studio had decent ventilation. However, I found the pace quite fast for someone with no previous experience - would have benefited from an extra session. The materials list could be more detailed before starting. That said, I did learn the fundamentals and can now practice at home.

The abstract art course opened my eyes to composition and colour theory in ways I hadn't considered. I particularly valued how the instructor explained the reasoning behind different approaches rather than just showing techniques. After six weeks, I sold my first piece at a local gallery event.

Solid course with experienced instructors. The still life painting sessions taught me proper observation skills and how to build up layers effectively. Would be nice to have more variety in the subjects we painted - we did three fruit bowl arrangements which felt repetitive. Otherwise, no complaints about the teaching quality or facilities.

I'm so happy with this course! The mixed media workshop pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way. We experimented with combining acrylics, collage, and ink, which created textures I never knew were possible. The instructor encouraged creative risk-taking while providing technical guidance. I've filled two sketchbooks since finishing the course and have a completely different approach to my art now.

Professional setup and excellent communication throughout. I booked the landscape painting course for my wife's birthday, and the team accommodated a schedule change when she had a work conflict. The course itself exceeded her expectations - she came home each week excited to show me what she'd learned. Three months later, she's still painting regularly and has transformed our spare room into a studio.
