Comments for Lakeland Art Courses

May I say a big Thank You for a great time on the course and it gave us much confidence. It has also given us both a much greater appreciation of our surroundings - the world suddenly has even more colour! Sept 07

Just to say thank you for a truely inspirational time painting with you. You have done wonders for my morale (I've come home keener than ever) and I learnt so much from you. Can't wait to come again!!! August 07

Thank you Jane ,for arranging such a great holiday. It was really
brilliant. I adore Italy and Iseo certainly wasn't a disappointment.June 2007

Hi Jane (and Nigel).......We just had to say thank you for the wonderful holiday in Sulzano........It was pretty obvious that you had spent a lot of time organising it, and it showed. Such a fantastic hotel, magical views, lovely people and of course all your help with our paintings, and I nearly forgot.........the super food!!!!! June 2007

Thanks for a brilliant day.
The weather could have been better, but the location and the hospitality could not have been bettered.
Looking forward to using some of the photos to remind me of a superb day.(Derwent Island Day June 2007)

Thanks so much for a great course last week. I may have been the bottom of the class! but I really valued what you taught in your gentle and encouraging way. It was great to watch an expert at work and then to try to follow your instructions. The work on sketching and colours .. and being bolder are just what I needed. May 2007

Hi Jane, thanks for your email and pictures, they are very good, I,m going on a diet!!!! We really did have a great time, didn,t we. Everything worked well, good company, fabulous location and probably the most delightful hotel Ive stayed in May 08

Hi Jane
Just to say how much Tricia and I enjoyed our painting holiday. I learned such a lot and we did appreciate the opportunity to do so much outdoors, even in the rain!
Thanks for a great time and hope to be back some time in the future.Aug 08

Hi Jane, Just a line to say how much I enjoyed the course. A big revelation to me was how much I am 'allowed ' to leave out or alter in a painting!May 08
