We have just had another rave review on Trip Advisor for a Watermill painting course. This time it is from Kim, who was on Mike Willdridge‘s course last week.
Kim writes: “I’ve just returned from an excellent week of painting, gourmet eating and sightseeing from this gorgeous venue.
The Watermill is so peaceful, the art studio large and looks out over the hills and stream. It is set in beautiful grounds which contain large bamboo trees,many streams and wooden bridges and a rustic watermill underneath the older building….so many spots in which to paint plein air.
Lois and Bill are great hosts and Lois can certainly cook gourmet well. Our art tutor that week gave us helpful demonstrations in how to mix and apply the various paint media.
At the end the week they all felt like family, especially with the departing hugs!”
Thank you Kim. We are glad you had such a marvellous time.
