Helena H reviewed: Three Day Expressive Painting in Soft Pastel with Richard Suckling

"I thoroughly enjoyed my three days studying with Richard. He was a kind, insightful and encouraging teacher and I certainly gained confidence in this medium during the course. I left feeling very inspired and encouraged! Bridget and Richard were perfect hosts; accommodation was thoughtfully presented, spotless and very comfortable. Their catering was absolutely delicious home-cooked wholesomeness! "

Julia S reviewed: Three Day Expressive Painting in Soft Pastel with Richard Suckling

"I really enjoyed this three day exploration of the wonders of the vivid pigments of pastels. Richard is a great artist and also an inspirational teacher. We all benefitted from his informative demonstrations, and I particularly liked his guidance that allowed individual expression and style. I enjoyed being able to stay on site in the comfortable and stylish Moor and Sea accommodation, where Bridget and Richard gave us a warm welcome and the just delicious soup lunches. The only disappointment was the snow which meant that I couldn’t explore more of the beautiful coastline, but that can be rectified by booking on to another of the Moor and Sea courses :) !"
