Comments from former participants: “The individual attention was most definitely to my satisfaction, my art issues were addressed; I enjoyed the locations and was satisfied with the accommodation. I had a really good time and felt I made good progress. Good to paint things (sea, landscapes) that are normally not part of my repertoire. I will certainly be in touch. “
