Lindsay williams reviewed: Landscape oil painting

"Enjoyed my two day oil paint course with Laura at the lovely Ferrers Art Centre. Laura gives a brief overview then allows students to delve into the work themselves. All materials are provided and I thought the course price very reasonable. Lovely cafe and deli on site so a very pleasant experience and place to paint."

Laura Donaldson responded:

"Thanks Lindsay. I’m so glad that you enjoyed the course. It was a lovely couple of days in the studio and I look forward to welcoming you back. "

Sally reviewed: Colour loves colour. Abstract acrylic painting.

"I attended Laura's Colour Loves Colour Abstract Acrylic Painting workshop at her Studio - what a fantastic experience! I'm a complete beginner, and Laura worked with us to create some fab paintings, and teach us lots of really useful techniques and tricks! All of the paint and equipment was supplied, with plenty of tea and coffee provided throughout :-) Laura has a wonderful spirit and is very passionate about art and it made me feel very relaxed - it was an incredibly relaxing day (in beautiful surroundings too!) I would HIGHLY recommend this course. THANK YOU Laura! xxx"

Laura Donaldson responded:

"Thank you so much! It really was a great day with a fantastic group of people. Your work was beautiful and I’m thrilled that you had such an enjoyable time. I look forward to welcoming you back to the studio whenever you like. "

Rachel reviewed: Colour loves colour. Abstract acrylic painting.

"If I could give 10 ⭐️ I would. The course was absolutely brilliant. Laura was an enthusiastic, friendly, patient tutor and the studio is a delight to work in. I have no experience in any sort of painting but this didn’t matter in the slightest. It was well worth the money and I’ve already booked onto another course. I LOVED IT. "

Laura Donaldson responded:

"Thank you so much for this review. It was a terrific day and I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it and felt that you have benefitted from your time in the studio. I very much look forward to welcoming you back for more fun and creativity!"
