I would like to return sometime. Maybe next March. I would like to thank Marilyn and Paul for their generosity and kindness to me, you know why! Also my new friend Sharn Lang who helps me along. Best wishes to you all x"

Pam Coxon reviewed: Acrylic Trio 3 artists 3 styles Painting holiday deposit - Bournemouth Sea front hotel

"We enjoyed every minute of our time at Marsham Court Hotel. So much so that we have already booked for next year. Marilyn and the other two tutors showed us different techniques and approaches, and we produced some interesting paintings. The hotel was good too, with delicious food. "

NickyL reviewed: Get inside an artists mind to create a vibrant lion in acrylic

"Wow! I am amazed at what I've created by following this tutorial. Marilyn has shown me new ways at looking at a work to help reflect it more accurately. I love the vibrancy the colour choices bring and a freedom to be bold. I was going to put 4 stars as there was an issue with receiving the pdf, but this is being resolved. However I managed to follow the tutorial without it and it was so excellent I couldn't but put 5 stars! This really is a tutorial you want to try."

Alison Debenham reviewed: Taster Sparkly mixed media at my farm studio, your choice from 5 tuitions £99.99 for four people, TV artist Marilyn Allis

"Fabulous morning - especially being able to sit outside in the sunshine at Marilyn's brilliant studio location. Although I'm very familiar with many of the materials and techniques, to learn new ways of application and interpretation was highly beneficial. As always, I've come away wanting to spend even more money on materials - loved the dyes for their vibrancy and intensity. Will be having another go tomorrow!"

Jaki Taylor reviewed: Light & Dark impacting in watercolour at my farm studio TV artist Marilyn Allis

"Not only is Marilyn an excellent artist, she is a superb teacher. I go to as many of her workshops as I can and also signed up for her 'Lockdown' zoom lessons,which were great fun! For this workshop on 'Light and Dark', she made it easy to understand the importance of tone in a painting and I very much enjoyed using what I had learned to paint my own Naples street scene. Great fun and I can't wait for the next one!"

Debbie reviewed: Brusho & mixed media Bees craft kit/box two tuitions with TV artist Marilyn Allis

"It was very exciting unpacking the parcel containing all the paper and materials to complete my bee pictures. There was more than enough paints and powders to work with and having the brushes as a keepsake very useful. The instructions and video were very clear and so useful to be able to watch it time and again when you lack confidence. The extra cards in the pack were a welcome invitation to try more pictures at a later date. Well worth the voucher. Thank you"

Graham reviewed: Acrylic portrait's at my farm studio TV atist Marilyn Allis

"I had a great time on this acrylic portrait painting course! Marilyn was able to guide us through how to paint vibrant, brightly coloured portraits and I think we all learned something here. We were lucky enough to be able to take our paintings outside in the afternoon and paint in the sun. Marilyn was great at advising us on our direction when we were painting and helped us fix bits. I'm really happy with the portrait that I was able to paint that day and I really enjoyed my day."

Caroline Vidican reviewed: Acrylic portrait's at my farm studio TV atist Marilyn Allis

"Marilyn's acrylic portrait painting course is the best course I have been on in a very long time. She is a brilliant and empathetic teacher, and takes the class carefully through the steps to getting a really good likeness. I am amazed by the portrait I produced under her guidance and feel empowered to continue and paint more portraits. Her workshop is beautifully situated and the day was unexpectedly sunny and warm, so we were able to paint outside on her terrace which was an added bonus. I would encourage anyone to do this class and would be really happy to learn more from Marilyn."

Derek Close reviewed: Bespoke art materials package

"Provided a package of bespoke art material which enabled me to spent a retirement gift that was intended to be used for courses which was not possible due to the pandemic. My wife and I are indebted to Marilyn as at one stage we thought we might loose the value of the craft course voucher. Everything was as ordered and the packaging was the best we have ever seen. We would highly recommend Marilyn Allis and Craft Courses who put us in touch with Marilyn."
