I attended a 2 day course with the acclaimed artist Louise Baalam at The Dairy Studios , Lewes. Louise is a great teacher, She has the ability to teach a person without them knowing it. Very clever. I am going to book the December one with her I hope it still has places on it. I was very pleased with my progress and would like to have another session to cement things into my airy fairy brain!!!! I would have liked another day I think so a three day course would suit me fine, also the second day I am always quite tired, and so don't achieve a lot p.m. so a third day would be better for me. great welcome with proper coffee and lovely biscuits really good. I loved the crit. V.v. Useful. Lovely to see everyone's work and how proud we all were of our own work. The studio is great, having your own workspace and tables etc v. Good. good facilities, all fine. A big plus for maybe older people was the fact that you didn't have to walk a long way with easels etc etc before you could paint outside. I have a bad back, and have friends who are a bit dodgy with backs and feet etc., you could just step outside the studio or walk to the edge of the field.and get a good view. TO spoil us completely maybe a few lightweight tables to take out and put our palette on would be a dream!!!!! I loved the little Jack Russell he was sweet. ALl in all great time THank you very much Caroline Curtis
