Laurie Danforth reviewed: Hazel Dormouse - beginners coloured pencil drawing with Linda Hampson

"I spent considerable time researching potential teachers of colored pencil. Linda Hampson stood out as not only a wonderfully talented artist, but also an excellent teacher. I really enjoy Linda's explanations of why she does this or that and her repetition of critical aspects of drawing. Her approach is thoughtful, carefully filmed and fun! I would highly recommend any tutorial or workshop of Linda Hampson. It's fun to learn facts about her topics as well which are always included between drawing steps."

The Old Kennels responded:

"Oh Laurie, thank you so much for such a lovely review! In 'usual' times when we saw our customers 'in person' we knew they enjoyed our courses as they could just tell us. But with so much 'online' now we its harder for us to know we are getting things right, so when people take the time to write constrictive reviews we are just so grateful, it gives us great satisfaction in our work! Do hope you will enjoy this years new offerings, and please share your results with us by email or on our social media we love to see what you have been up to ! :)"

Ro Suckling reviewed: Apple – introduction to botanical coloured pencil drawing at The Old Kennels

"I attended a one day coloured pencil workshop with Linda Hampson at the Old Kennels in September 2021. It was a lovely day with teaching taking place in the barn and lunch outside in the gorgeous surroundings. It was obvious that great care had been taken to ensure that everything was Covid safe so the atmosphere was relaxed. I am new to coloured pencils and I learnt so much. The accompanying video is a great idea because you can practice what you learnt at home. I will be attending future workshops in 2022."

The Old Kennels responded:

"Thank you Ro for such a lovely review! we are so pleased you have enjoyed your course atThe Old Kennels and the online tutorials too! :)"

Liz reviewed: Apple – introduction to botanical coloured pencil drawing at The Old Kennels

"Having taken a couple of Linda's 'in person tutorials', I was delighted that, during lockdowns, I was able to access her video courses - they have kept me going through these strange times, and it is so good to be able to revisit the videos when required. They have also encouraged me to move on to drawing other subjects. The notes, as ever, are excellent and I continue to enjoy my drawing immensely."

The Old Kennels responded:

"Thank you so much for your kind review Liz :) I'm not sure we would ever have found time to produce online video tutorials if it wasn't for lockdowns. It has been a steep learning curve but we are really enjoying it and I think its something we will keep doing. Wonderful to hear you are enjoying them!"

Suki reviewed: Apple – introduction to botanical coloured pencil drawing at The Old Kennels

"I thoroughly enjoyed this course and definitely recommend it to anyone. I checked the link early and ordered a few pencils in and made sure I had some paper etc. around the house before I sat down to start. I spent a few hours on a rainy Sunday sketching in the company of the lovely tutor via pre-recorded video and I loved it. The course provides written instructions, extra details and the pre-recorded video that you can stop, rewind and re-play as many times as you need. I have never done anything quite like this and I was genuinely pleased with what I produced, even though I didn't think for one minute I would be. If you're not sure, just give it a go!"

The Old Kennels responded:

"Thank you Suki, what a lovely review! So glad you enjoyed your first attempt at botanical coloured pencil drawing. Do keep an eye out we are adding more online tutorials all the time!"
