Jennifer reviewed: Pastel Landscapes for Beginners

"I've completed the beginners and improvers courses with Annabel and have thoroughly enjoyed them both. It suited me so well to be able to learn at my own pace and to be able to go back over things as many times as I needed to. It was always very exciting waiting for Annabel's response once work had been submitted. All her instructions, advice and hints & tips were very welcome and I have a much greater understanding of how to design and construct a painting. Annabel always gave a very positive response unlike others I have done courses with. She was so encouraging and suggested how to improve rather than where I'd gone wrong."

"Thank you so much Jennifer for this truly lovely review. I do my best to help students to succeed and to encourage rather than criticise and I am so glad to hear that I achieved that result. I realise that when a student sends work to me for assessment, they probably feel vulnerable and that is why I try to reply as soon as possible with useful and positive comments. Thank you so much, your words are very much appreciated. Xx"

"Having completed the course for beginners, I launched into the Improvers course as well. I found part of it more challenging, but with Annabel's help, I was pleased with the results. Her prompt response in assessing my work is invaluable. I felt I had my own personal tutor which was great."

"I worked on the beginners course with Annabel prior to attending her studio in Wales for a workshop. This meant that I was able to cover all the basics before going. The course gave me a very good understanding and grounding of the medium as well as introducing me to makes of pastels which helped me to succeed. I found the instructions detailed and easy to follow with step by step pictures. The assessments were prompt and very useful. It is a brilliant course for the beginner and later on I did the Improvers course as well!"

Anne reviewed: Pastel Landscapes for Improvers

"After enjoying the beginners course, I decided I would do the improvers course as well! I did find it more challenging, as one would expect, but with Annabel's intuitive assessments, help, and patience, I was happy with the work I produced. Some of the techniques were a revelation and really improved my work. It is so helpful to have one's own personal tutor to hand!"

"Thank you Anne, I am so glad you enjoyed the improvers course. You certainly did really well, despite hurting your hand and having a break in the middle! I really enjoyed working with you again. xx"
