Here are the members of Brienne Brown’s watercolour week raising their glasses in the Watermill studio to celebrate a week of convivial company and inspiring teaching. We thank them all for braving the bureaucracy to enjoy a week of freedom in the secluded peace of the Watermill and to savour the beauty of the surrounding countryside.
They certainly seemed to enjoy their week. Among the comments: “What a special holiday this has been.†“You certainly made our holiday dream come true.†“I so enjoyed spending a lovely week here at the Watermill. The beauty of the Tuscan landscapes is truly heavenly. You and Lois are the most gracious of hosts. Everything was perfect and the food was utterly fantastic.â€
And to add to the delights of the week, Brienne gave us this lovely watercolour of the convent where we go to paint during the week. Thank you very much, Brienne: we shall have it framed and hung in pride of place in the Watermill art gallery.
I am fond of quoting the Sufi maxim that the guests have as many responsibilities as the hosts, and our guests on Brienne’s week certainly fulfilled their responsibilities to make it a time to remember.
As the Italians say, arrivederci – until we meet again.
If you would like to sample the delights of a Watermill creative course, we have three more painting courses and one more Italian language course this October and we would be delighted if you could join us.
How better to get away from it all than to savour the delights of a Watermill painting holiday. Why not come and see for yourself? We still have some places on our October courses, Including on our unique Italian language week.. Reserve yourself a space now. You know you deserve it!
