“This is a superb course. I went on one of Carl’s courses earlier this year and was delighted with the outcomes. Most of us were total beginners and we all produced paintings of which we were proud – even Steve didn’t laugh when I showed them to him! I have even gone so far as to mount a couple of them. Most importantly, I have acquired sufficient knowledge and confidence to continue painting. Carl is patient, encouraging and an excellent tutor. In my view you won’t find a better course anywhere else.” Sue
