Elisabeth Stokoe reviewed: ColourWheel art classes for adults - Maidenhead - Thursday

"The courses were well prepared and presented in a friendly atmosphere. We touched on all the various media (water coloring, pastels, acrylic and others). It gave us a good base to continue on our own. The location is easily accessible with easy parking and pleasant facilities (cafeteria with good food and pleasant terrace. The courses are excellent value for money. I followed the courses for the second year running. I highly recommend these courses as an introduction to drawing and painting."

"Just completed my sixth course and cannot wait to sign up for my seventh. Absolutely fantastic cannot speak highly enough of Rene, Inge and Erica. They are professional, kind and nothing is too much trouble. I have learnt so much from my Colour Wheel sessions. Using so many different mediums and covering many topics. It is the highlight of the week. The three hours just fly by. Classes are thoroughly enjoyable in a friendly relaxed atmosphere. I am so glad I signed up. I would not hesitate to recommend these classes. So what are you waiting for, come along join a class and have a fun time."

"This course is just so much fun! Yes, you learn lots and lots of things, different ideas, different techniques, different ways of creating a disaster and then the thrill of actually producing something really worthwhile that you never thought you were capable of doing. But above all it's the course organisers, Rene and Erica who make it all jell together, for their patience and understanding and creating an atmosphere that makes it such a pleasure to attend each week."

"These Colourwheel classes are value for money. They are well structured and organised to provide instruction in the use of differing media (which is provided). The course material and notes are emailed in advance of your weekly 3 hour lessons by Rene. Erica who is a qualified and experienced teacher demonstrates the various techniques for the media and subject, then moves round the class assisting and encouraging the less proficient. The friendly atmosphere can go from vibrant to silent concentration in minutes and is a haven from the outside world. Excellent venue and easy parking."

"I absolutely love these classes. This is my third term. Erica and Rene are fantastic - everything is organised and provided, so that all we do as students is turn up and get on with the fun part. Erica's teaching skills are second to none, as she breaks things down into bite sized chunks, so that sometimes when faced with what seems impossible or beyond your capability, you really ARE amazed at what you can achieve. These classes are not only enjoyable, but actually give me three hours where I am completely absorbed, and switch off from the world. Bliss! Thanks Rene and Erica!"

"I have just completed my third term at Windsor, it is amazing! I have always loved art since I was at school and had been looking for a class I could join for some time. I trialled a class last May and thoroughly enjoyed it and signed up and have not looked back since. It is my 3 hour respite each week, down time from a hectic job the rest of the week. The quality of the teaching is excellent and each week a different and exciting project is taught which is interesting, challenging and hugely enjoyable. We have used Indian inks, Watercolours, Pastels, Acrylics, Life Drawing and most recently Lino printing. Both Rene and Erica are fantastic teachers, who encourage and inspire each week. Both classes are taught in a lovely setting which are easily accessed with plenty of parking and everything we need for the class is provided. I highly recommend this course and look forward to returning next term!"

Jacquie reviewed: ColourWheel art classes for adults - Maidenhead - Thursday

"I first joined the beginner’s class, with no previous art experience and found that I could actually draw and paint recognisable objects - much to the surprise of my family! Being able to experiment with colour and mediums in class was invaluable as I developed my own style, better than I could have hoped. Rene and the teachers were so patient, supportive and extremely encouraging. Anyone who is even thinking about art classes should definitely go to ColourWheel where your inner hidden artist will be gently nurtured and celebrated."

Keya reviewed: ColourWheel art classes for adults - Maidenhead - Thursday

"I am about to complete my first term. I have already signed up for the next one! I am a beginner with a scientific brain and imagined I had no artistic talent. Erica and Rene bring out the very best in their pupils. The teaching is excellent and everytime I think I cannot complete a project I surprise myself. It is definitely possible to learn a new skill. The environment is fun and relaxing and I am totally absorbed throughout the lesson. A great way to switch off . I would highly recommend giving these classes a try. Everything is provided and you learn various techniques with different mediums. It has truly opened up a new world for me."

"4 courses ago, never having been anywhere near Art at school, I signed up to Colour Wheel. Every lesson we try out different media and approach different subjects on a termly basis. All the participants are friendly and the tutors, Rene and Erica, most helpful. It has been a pleasure to turn up on a Thursday morning, welcomed by newly made friends, to have 3 hours of me time, ignoring what is going on in the outside world, to take home a piece of artwork I never would have believed possible at the beginning of each session."

"Love these sessions. I started last term and absolutely recommend to anyone who fancies having a go at art techniques without the fear of being judged. Each week, there is so much to learn in a supportive and fun environment. The three hours just fly - and I come away feeling relaxed and wishing I could return for the afternoon. Organization and tuition are superb - a very, very satisfied customer. Thank you Rene and Erika ."

Finlay Maclean reviewed: ColourWheel art classes for adults - Maidenhead - Thursday

"I started as a true beginner who had done no practical art since leaving school and very little even then. Nevertheless, I have always loved works of art in a number of forms and felt it was time I discovered just how untalented I really was. (I do so hate talented people!) I quickly discovered that under the excellent guidance of the ColourWheel teachers that it is possible - almost - to make a silk purse out of a sows ear! The skills shown and acquired were remarkable in such a short time and it was most rewarding to take work home that was appreciated (at least by my 3 year old grand daughter!) I can strongly recommend the course. You will learn a lot of techniques and you will also enjoy the company of other mature students and the very pleasant teaching staff. Importantly, the classes are all held in charming locations with plenty of car parking."

"I first joined the beginners class in Windsor almost 2 years ago and with the encouragement of Rene and Erica I went on the join the class in Maidenhead with Inge . I am so grateful that all of them have enabled me to rediscover my love of art . All the classes are very relaxed and every week there is a new medium to try out with Inge there to encourage you along the way . I am eternally gratefully to them all as I will shortly have my own website up and running selling my pet and animal portraits"

"Brilliant course. I have enjoyed learning new medias. Every week we touch on a different media to broaden our knowledge. All materials are supplied for us to use. We have used: Pencils, coloured pencils, watercolour pencils, pastels both soft and oil, ink to paint with and to mark make with pens, acrylics, watercolour paints. We have covered a wide range of subjects: landscapes, portraits, life drawings, still life, nature and street scenes to mention only a few. I have improved my technique while among fun friendly people. the teaching is superb. its been worth every penny."

"I absolutely love Rene and Inga's classes, I have learn't so much and it's lovely to be introduced to so many different techniques & mediums, something I would never have done without their encouragement.

"Great art classes - I have done 3 terms in Windsor, and have now moved over to Maidenhead. These classes are really inspiring, and I have made so much progress. It is my 'me time' and I love it! In fact I loved the classes so much that I have recently taken on the franchise for ColourWheel in Reading and I am now running my own classes there. I have continued to attend ColourWeel classes in Maidenhead as a student because I enjoy them so much."

Jeff Taylor reviewed: ColourWheel art classes for adults - Maidenhead - Thursday

"I'm now in my 8th term at ColourWheel, which tells you how I view the class. Rene is a great organiser & lovely person. Everything we need is available for all the different types of lesson & sometimes things we don't e.g. biscuits, cakes, sweets, taco's etc but which make classes so much more than just a lesson. The teachers are great, totally understanding of different peoples’ needs. Currently at Maidenhead Inge du Plessis is our teacher & she gives clear instructions on technique etc. but lets you go your own way if that's what you want, helping if required. The classes are fun and relaxed and after 7+ terms I'm still learning and still having fun. Come along & give it a go I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Jeff"

"I attended these classes from 2015 till the beginning of this year when I started working again. I loved the time for myself, the people I met and the lovely venues the classes are held in. You are shown how to use all the different types of paints and pencils, so now I can use theses at home. Every class is different over my time no subject was ever repeated. The teachers are talented artists and want to share they talents with you, always encouraging. I learnt a lot and it gave me confidence. Always well organized with everything you could need, I loved it and miss it. I highly recommend it to anyone."
