"I really enjoyed the 3 day retreat - it was everything I needed to get me back into watercolour again."

Hi Jude,

I had a wonderful time at the Albany workshop, thank you for hosting it - it was a marvellous experience.

"Hi Jude, thanks for a fantastic workshop. I learnt a lot, especially I finally mastered the process of marking up a photo and using proportional dividers to get the angles and points exactly right transferring the image accurately from photo to paper.."

"Hi Jude, 

I want to thank you for your wonderful workshop last weekend. Each day took me to explore a totally different area of w/c practice in a relaxed and inspiring way. You are so generous with your knowledge . It was enjoyable and fun in your beautiful studio and garden and we were spoilt with your delicious cakes."

"Thanks Jude, I really enjoyed the workshop and think you paced it well for the group. It was also good to do the painting exercises before tackling the actual picture. I was pleased with what I achieved. ."
