Course Testimonials + Student Work

 “I thoroughly enjoyed participating in the course and was stimulated by the challenge. As someone who would consider themselves to be a non-creative person, I have found that I was interested, engaged and challenged in equal measure throughout the experience. 

I have learned about the importance of colour, texture and shape. In particular, I thoroughly enjoyed the colour theory module and subsequently related this to my collage in the later tutorials. 

The instructions were clear and presented in a style which provided support and encouragement to someone inexperienced in art / craft.

The tutorials were easy to follow as they built up my confidence to face the final collage!

Thank you for allowing me to benefit from your knowledge and enthusiasm as I entered what was initially a daunting new realm for me.”

“This is class is the best I’ve ever taken in terms of the content provided and the obviously huge amount of preparation that Caroline has put into it. On a side note, I am extremely grateful that I was gifted this class but after the first week I would happily have paid for it, it’s such good value.“

This is it!!! “ -Svetlana K on the ‘Contemporary Watercolours: From Experiment To Outcome 1’ course.

"What a fantastic day, Caroline and Emma are both so warm and welcoming. Caroline is so knowledgeable and such an enthusiastic and encouraging teacher. I learned loads, had a really enjoyable day and left with a piece of artwork I am proud of, would highly recommend." -Kath P on the ‘Misty Landscape in Watercolours and Gouache’ day course.

“I thoroughly enjoyed The Beginners Still Life with Watercolour Day Course - it was very well thought out, planned & executed with a lot of value packed into one day. I really liked the teacher's positive attitude & encouragement, particularly in regards to embracing your own interpretations of watercolour art, and how that's what makes you unique. She showcased different techniques and explained important things about the nature of watercolour paints & how they work and the quality of different materials. She also made us all these beautiful day course booklets which provided very detailed explanations & demonstrated step-by-step breakdowns of her sketching and watercolouring process. I very much appreciated the care & effort that went into this day course and would absolutely recommend anyone who's interested, to give one of these courses a go!”

-Iris M on the ‘Beginner's Still Life Day Course’.

“A BIG THANK YOU to Caroline for creating this innovative course. I have loved learning these different techniques and look forward to applying this new knowledge to future pieces. If you decide to do more online courses in the future I'll definitely sign up!.“

-Carol A on the ‘Contemporary Watercolours: From Experiment To Outcome 1’ course.

“I’m sad that this is the end. Thank you so much Caroline for your enthusiasm and tuition. You have given me the confidence to try new processes. I have also had to learn to be patient as I normally like to dive straight into a painting. Thank you also to my fellow classmates for your encouragement and it’s lovely to see other people’s slant on each lesson.“

-J Dry on the ‘Contemporary Watercolours: From Experiment To Outcome 1’ course.

“I’m so sad this is the last project… this course was so much fun, Caroline! You truly are the quintessential Art Teacher. Your love of and passion for water color are apparent… and contagious. Thank you so very much for everything. You’ve given me a new-found love of art and helped me get back in touch with my creative spirit.

If you have it again next summer, I’m definitely registering! In the meantime, I’m going to be practicing every chance I can get!

Hope to see everyone on Creative Space! ❤️“

-Jodi T on the ‘Contemporary Watercolours: From Experiment To Outcome 1’ course.
