Georgina Rambton reviews

Robert Leigh reviewed: Weekend landscape painting in watercolours

"Very enjoyable weekend learning the basics of landscape painting at Beaumaris, Anglesey. Each day was at a different location, sitting on pebble beaches, roughing a painting in situ in the morning then learning how to improve it in the studio in the afternoon. We were lucky with the weather. Being new to watercolour painting, the techniques Georgina taught for improving work or correcting errors got me over a hurdle. Gained a real love of Anglesey too. Thanks Georgina, hope to be back soon."

Georgina Rambton responded:

"Thank you for your review Robert. I’m glad you enjoyed the weekend and Anglesey! "

"Thank you for your review Sandra, it was a good weekend and we were lucky with the weather! "

Richard & Heather Andrew reviewed: Weekend landscape painting in watercolours

"Arriving as complete beginners, Georgina quickly put us at ease. Throughout the course, she was extremely encouraging and explained techniques and thought processes very clearly. By the end, we had produced watercolour paintings that we were proud of and knew how to further improve, indeed; we're already painting new landscapes now we're back home. The course seemed to fly by and we're looking forward to a return visit in the future."

Georgina Rambton responded:

"Thank you Heather, it was an absolute pleasure to have you both on the weekend course and I am so pleased that you enjoyed it and got so much out of it."

Paula V reviewed: Flower portraits - weekend art workshops in Anglesey, North Wales

"This is a fantastic course if you really want to take your painting to the next level! I have had so many complements from this course - both the watercolours that I painted then but also ones that I have painted since and my painting colleagues say my painting has improved no end, that there is a clear difference!! People have said that I have very well captured the fragility of the flowers. Georgina will look at your painting technique and let you know if you can do things better - this is really useful as on many other courses they do not actually teach you how to paint! Also she will teach you how to compose the painting so that you do not get overwhelmed, especially useful when there are many flowers in the flower-head. I am so very pleased I did this course, it has taken me to the next stage in my watercolours - well worth going to north Wales for! Thank you Georgina!"

Georgina Rambton responded:

"Thank you Paula, I’m glad you got so much out of the weekend!"

Juliet reviewed: Flower portraits - weekend art workshops in Anglesey, North Wales

"A relaxed and pleasurable 2 days observing and painting flowers. Georgina helped us to look carefully. She shared her water colour techniques and offered us much encouragement. I came away inspired to practise and improve after seeing some of Georgia's own outstanding artworks. We had coffees, teas, cakes and biscuits and a lot of fun! After painting anemones in the studio, I've come home and tackled irises!"

Georgina Rambton responded:

"Thank you for your review! And thank you for coming on the workshop. I love that you went home and tackled irises! X"

Julie reviewed: Flower portraits - weekend art workshops in Anglesey, North Wales

"As a nervous beginner, I was a little apprehensive about attending a painting course, particularly as to how I might compare against my fellow course members, but I needn't have worried. The atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly and I came away feeling much more confident about what I can achieve. I particularly enjoyed the challenge of painting in a bigger, looser style. Thank you, Georgina."

Georgina Rambton responded:

"Thank you so much for your review Julie. I'm glad you enjoyed the weekend."

Sandra Birch reviewed: Flower portraits - weekend art workshops in Anglesey, North Wales

"I have just attended Georgia's 2 day workshop on flower painting and found it delightful. She is a very relaxed and inspiring teacher and encouraged us to experiment with our style of painting. I would say this course is suitable for any level and encourages a looser style. Beaumaris, where this course was held, is a charming seaside town. All in all, a lovely weekend and highly recommended!"

Georgina Rambton responded:

"Hi Sandra, many thanks for your review. It was great to have you and your girls in the group! Thanks again."

Jude Aldridge reviewed: Weekend landscape painting in watercolours

"Just back from a wonderful weekend on this water colour course in beautiful Beaumaris. As a complete beginner I was nervous about the skills of my fellow attendees but thanks to Georgina’s teaching style I didn’t need to worry . Georgina is very generous with her time , very encouraging very patient. She ran the group well and created a wonderful warm environment in which to learn to paint. I have learnt so much and couldn’t wait to get home to practice. I would recommend this course to anyone."

Georgina Rambton responded:

"Thank you for your review Jude!"

Joe Hartley reviewed: Weekend landscape painting in watercolours

"Georgina provided a positive learning environment for a group of students with very different levels of experience. She was very good at instilling confidence in every member of the group. I was particularly impressed by the way she shared her thought processes whilst demonstrating techniques. Having had some experience of watercolour painting Georgina provided me with an opportunity to develop new skills and a more structured way of working. This enabled me to reassess past work and gave me ideas for how I might apply some of these techniques to my ceramics in the future."

Georgina Rambton responded:

"Thank you for your review! Im glad you got so much out of the workshop, it was a pleasure to have you as part of the group Joe. Diolch."

Jennie Jones reviewed: Weekend landscape painting in watercolours

"Thank you Georgina for sharing your time, expertise and enthusiasm and making the weekend course so enjoyable. As an absolute beginner who had no clue about where to start with water colour, I came away feeling confident to draw what I see and to apply paint to paper. I can't wait to start painting!"

Georgina Rambton responded:

"Thank you Jennie, it was great to have you in the group this weekend. Happy painting!"

Pam Altena reviewed: Weekend landscape painting in watercolours

"Just returned from a lovely weekend learning to paint flowers in watercolour. Georgina is an accomplished artist and experienced teacher who shared techniques and gave gentle encouragement. Her workshop is ideal, lots of light and space. She encouraged me to be less scared of making mistakes and to be bolder with my brush strokes. Throughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend the workshops."

Georgina Rambton responded:

"Thanks Pam, I’m so glad that you enjoyed the weekend! I hope to see you again."

Maggie reviewed: Weekend landscape painting in watercolours

"I recently attended a weekend landscape painting workshop, run by Georgina. I have not painted in a quite a while and therefore was a little apprehensive about the course. I need not have worried; Georgina immediately makes you feel at ease. She has a way of gently getting you used to picking up your pencil and paintbrush again. We visited different places to do some live sketching and painting which was great to have that support around knowing how to begin to paint outside. Georgina's teaching style is very much centred around the individual and what I think is a particular strength of Georgina's is that you do not realise until after that you have been taught. She also very much lets you find your way but at the same time guides you through basic principles of using watercolours successfully. I had a lovely weekend in a spectacular setting and would recommend this course to anybody regardless of your experience or expertise."

Georgina Rambton responded:

"Thank you so much for your revue Maggie, it was a pleasure to meet you and work with you over the weekend. x"

Rob Birchard reviewed: Weekend landscape painting in watercolours

"Just returned from a weekend landscape in watercolours course with Georgina. I’m a total beginner but thanks to Georgina’s talent and knowledge, I now have the confidence to put paint to paper and try different colours and techniques that I previously had no clue about. I can’t wait to go on the course again and would recommend the course to anyone whether they are a beginner or an experienced painter wanting to improve."

Georgina Rambton responded:

"Thank you for your review Rob. I'm so glad that you enjoyed the weekend and found the content useful, its always great for me to hear that learners feel more confident in their painting as a result. Painting and discovering our creativity is such an amazing gift to discover, it can be our best friend throughout our lives, particularly in times such as these! Thank you and I hope to see you again."

Gary Hardman reviewed: Weekend landscape painting in watercolours

"Just returned from 2 wonderful days with Georgina Rambton on her Landscape Watercolour Course. An exceptionally gifted Artist whose approach to painting and teaching was full of energy and as vibrant as her own watercolours depict. She opened up her inspirational studio to myself and three others, sharing techniques and gentle encouragement throughout the weekend. Opportunities to explore the local landscape and see how to interpret what we saw and felt into our paintings. Highly recommended and testimony itself that the three others on the course were all returning after being there last year. It was so good I bought one of Georgina's original paintings too."

Iola Medi reviewed: Weekend landscape painting in watercolours

"This is the second time I've attended one of Georgina Rambton's watercolour courses at her beautiful studio in Beaumaris. On this occasion the focus was on landscapes and the tuition involved both group work and individual progression. I learnt a lot and had a wonderful time. I look forward to joining another one of her courses in the near future."

Miriam Reed reviewed: Weekend landscape painting in watercolours

"Georgina's lovely art studio in the centre of beautiful Beaumaris on Anglesey is the perfect setting for a weekend of relaxed expert art tuition. With a small group there was plenty of time for individual guidance and help when needed. Beginners and more experienced artists can all benefit from Georgina's tuition. Her enthusiasm for her subject is evident. I've learned so much from this weekend, in particular - composition - shapes and forms I just love how she encouraged me to see this. Love these courses. Can't wait to join her next Watercolour weekend later this year."

"Lovely weekend with Georgina painting the landscape & learning new techniques, taking photographs of interest & applying them to the painting."

Chris Walton reviewed: Weekend landscape painting in watercolours

"I have just come back from a fantastic weekend on one of Georgina's landscape watercolour courses. Myself and my Mum learnt so many new skills and Georgina was a fantastic, patient teacher. The studio was warm and cosy and the trip out to paint the seascape was a highlight. The course really has inspired me to do so much more painting and put the new techniques we learnt into practice. I would thoroughly recommend."

Asanga Judge reviewed: Flower portraits - weekend art workshops in Anglesey, North Wales

"Georgina's speciality and favourite subject is flower painting with gouache and this was the subject of her most recent workshop which I attended. I have worked with her before and found her approach relaxed and informative, and have learned much from her. However, in the flower painting one, her way of teaching reflected her expertise. The simple, yet precise way I learned from her how to observe the relationship of different parts of plants and use this as a template for creating an accurate portrayal in a short space of time was an eye opener. It was indeed like unlocking a mystery. And as a person she is warm and humorous. Her workshops are fun and I would recommend them to any aspiring artist. Asanga Judge"

Bea Kelsall reviewed: Weekend landscape painting in watercolours

"I have attended a few of Georgina's art courses now and have learnt so much, I was very much an un-confident beginner, and she has really encouraged me to explore and grow as an artist. She has been so generous as a teacher in passing on skills and techniques, and her courses are as fun and enjoyable as they are informative and enlightening. Highly recommended."

Asanga Judge reviewed: Weekend landscape painting in watercolours

"Georgina is both an experienced and fun art teacher. Her recent workshop was an enjoyable and informative experience. She was both encouraging and challenging with innovative ideas, giving advice on practical tips for painting different objects as well as composition and specific effects, such as capturing movement and light and shade. I learnt a lot and my painting ability has noticeably improved, giving me more confidence to experiment further. Asanga Judge"
