C reviewed: Charcoal sketchbooks: Landscape. A three day workshop with Kate Boucher

"Brilliant course. I’ve always hated charcoal but wanted to challenge myself & liked the images that Kate had used to advertise the course. I’m so glad I signed up for it I’m totally converted & now love charcoal. Kate took us through graded exercises to give us confidence to tackle scenes from the beautiful landscape. She is a star tutor!"

"Thank you, so pleased you have a new found love of charcoal! We hope to see you again at Moor and Sea"

"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 :) !"

Moor and Sea Holidays responded:

"We are so pleased you enjoyed the course and your stay at Moor and Sea .. hopefully sunshine next time!"

Jane Hanson reviewed: Three Day Indian Miniature Painting Flowers Workshop with Samantha Buckley

"The Indian Miniature (birds) course was really enjoyable. The tutor Sam is a real expert and patiently explained the traditional craft and technique behind using natural pigmentation and how to apply as paints. At the end of the three days I had produced a lovely painting and feel inspired to learn more. The hospitality offered by Bridget and Richard was terrific, as were the lunches & cakes. Highly recommend. 😀"

Moor and Sea Holidays responded:

"Thank you Jane we are so pleased you enjoyed the Indian Miniature Bird course at Moor and Holidays. We hope to see you again"
