Wendy reviewed: One-day Colour Workshop - experiment with colour and expression in lovely Lawrenny

"My friend and I had a great day with Louise. We learnt a lot. Louise was encouraging and clear in her instruction. She was enthusiastic and had lots of energy! It was refreshing to be spontaneous and free with our creating. All of us produced two pieces of art which reflected the new techniques we learnt and would thoroughly recommend attending a course with Louise. "

Louise Burdett Artist responded:

"Thanks so much Wendy! Was lovely to meet you and Julie and to spend the day with you. Loved your pieces. Hope to see you again. x "

Linda Roberts reviewed: Oil Painting & Still Life - 5 week course in lovely Lawrenny

"The oil painting and still life course was my first experience of using oils and I was a bit apprehensive. Louise is very enthusiastic and encouraging and guides you through each stage suggesting different ways of looking at and developing your work. I liked the way the paint behaves and the vibrancy of the colours. A truly inspirational experience."

Louise Burdett Artist responded:

"Ah, thank you so much Linda. I'm glad you loved oils so much - I feel the same! Hope to see you again soon. Louise x"

Annie Hargreaves reviewed: One-day Colour Workshop - experiment with colour and expression in lovely Lawrenny

Adrianne Leijerstam reviewed: Oil Painting & Still Life - 5 week course in lovely Lawrenny

"Louise puts you at ease immediately and methodically guides you through the key stages in oil painting which was totally new to me. She is enthusiastic and professional carefully restoring you from your doubts and suggesting ways to improve. “Turn your painting upside down,” she said “and don’t look at the lines but more the variety and intensity of colour.”. Wow! I’m really learning something! Her small light studio is a real artist’s den bursting with colour, paints and canvases with everything you need at your fingertips. It really makes you feel like an artist. Thank you for your inspiration. Adrianne "

Louise Burdett Artist responded:

"Wow what a lovely review! Thank you so much Adrianne. It was a real pleasure to work with you and see your painting flourish. Hope to see you again soon. x"

Claire reviewed: Oil Painting & Still Life - 5 week course in lovely Lawrenny

"Despite having painted on and off for years I had never used oils. Even after a lovely friend bought me a set for my birthday a few years ago. Oils were surely only for the “really good” people! So I signed up for this after doing a few of Louise’s other courses. It was fantastic. I love the way the oils feel when you paint. A still life was a perfect way to start and we all developed our own compositions with Louise’s help. I would highly recommend - as will all Louise’s courses you will come away with a painting you can be proud of 😁"

Louise Burdett Artist responded:

"Thank you for this lovely review Claire. It was a pleasure as always and I'm looking forward to continuing our artistic journeys together. x"

Claire reviewed: Landscape Painting in Palette Knife & Brush - 4 week course in lovely Lawrenny

"I did this course with Louise and was delighted with my finished painting - Louise helps you build a painting over 4 weeks, experimenting with different types of mark making using a pallet knife and a range of colours to make the painting “pop”. My painting is hanging on our wall at home and always gets compliments ☺️ Would highly recommend no matter what your experience, or confidence levels of painting are "

Louise Burdett Artist responded:

"Ah, thanks so much Claire. Glad you enjoyed it and yes your painting is absolutely lovely. Look forward to seeing you again soon x "

Jenna reviewed: Human Face Explored - one-day creative drawing Workshop in lovely Lawrenny

"This workshop was excellent, Louise is a brilliant teacher and gave so many useful pearls of wisdom when it came to drawing faces. It's made me look at portraits in a completely different way, and I cannot wait to start putting into practice what I have learnt. I would definitely recommend this to anyone as it was great fun. Looking forward to doing more future workshops with Louise."

Tina Trowell reviewed: Creative Drawing Workshop for beginners in lovely Lawrenny

"This was my first experience of art classes and I can't wait to go again. Louise does the artwork at the same time as you which is a real help. She gives you space to find your own rhythm with periods of instruction. I had a very warm welcome and she immediately put me at ease. I'm looking forward to starting my second course with her next week. Thank you Louise."

Louise Burdett Artist responded:

"It was great to meet you Tina. You were a delight to teach, created some fabulous drawings, and I'm looking forward to seeing you for the life-drawing course this week. Louise x"

Philippa Davies reviewed: Creative Drawing Workshop for beginners in lovely Lawrenny

"This is the third course I've taken at Louise's lovely studio - and I may have enjoyed this one most of all! Louise is very action focussed as a teacher, so you start drawing early on in the session, and this means you get three pieces to take home...which is so gratifying. But she doesn't hurry you at all, just motivates and encourages with comments, tips and demonstration. So you're able to totally immerse yourself in your creative process and focus, which is both deeply relaxing and restorative. Highly recommend Louise's courses and will be back for more."

Louise Burdett Artist responded:

"Thank you for your great review Pippa. It was a delight to see you again and I enjoyed working with you. See you again soon I hope. Louise x"

Jill Jones reviewed: The Human Face Explored - One-day Creative Drawing Workshop in lovely Narberth

"I spent a really enjoyable day playing with charcoal and exploring the human face in Louise’s bright and welcoming studio. Having had no art instruction since O Levels (50+ years ago), I felt a little nervous about what to expect. I needn’t have worried. Louise is very friendly and encouraging and gradually takes you through various exercises leading on to a final portrait using the techniques taught. I learned such a lot and came away wanting to do more! I recommend Louise’s course and would encourage you to ‘have a go’ whatever your ability. Thank you Louise, I’m looking forward to my ‘Colour’ workshop in a few weeks time!"

Louise Burdett Artist responded:

"What a wonderful review, thanks so much Jill. I'm glad you feel you got so much out of the workshop. I look forward to seeing you again soon for our colour day. Louise x"

Claire Deacon reviewed: The Human Face & Portraiture - 4 week Course, in lovely Lawrenny

"I am currently doing this course for the second time. Louise creates a theme for each session with the aim of producing a self portrait at the the end. It is challenging but extremely rewarding. We look at skin tones, light and dark and how to create a balanced composition. She helps you produce a piece of art which you can be proud of. Would highly recommend."

Louise Burdett Artist responded:

"Thank you so much Claire for your wonderful review. It is always a pleasure and I look forward to seeing you next week for the final day of self portraiture on this course. Louise x"

Louise always makes the sessions relaxed and enjoyable and it’s a lovely way to spend a day at something you are keen to improve on ."

Louise Burdett Artist responded:

"Thank you so much for the lovely review Jackie. Looking forward to seeing you in the studio again soon. Louise x"

Jsn Spicer reviewed: The Human Face Explored - One-day Creative Drawing Workshop in lovely Narberth

"I just wanted to reiterate how much I enjoyed your human faceworkshop today. I felt welcome and safe and thought your studio was a de lightful place in which to spend a few hours playing with charcoal. I loved the way you explained the techniques and although I have attempted some portraits, I definitely learned and practised something new today - always satisfying and leaves you wanting more. I will definitely keep an eye on your courses and hope to meet up with you again at some future date."

Louise Burdett Artist responded:

"Thank you Jan. It was a pleasure to meet you and to see your fab portrait emerge. I look forward to seeing you again at some point in the studio. Louise x"

Fiona reviewed: Painting Masterclass - Tenby South Beach - all welcome in lovely Lawrenny

"Thoroughly enjoyed this - it gave me the confidence to experiment with acrylics using a much larger paintbrush than I'd have imagined using before, learning how to build up layers of paint with different brush strokes to create an acceptable picture. Louise is a very competent and capable teacher, she explains the process clearly from start to finish and is so inspiring! I'm really looking forward to another workshop!!"

Louise Burdett Artist responded:

"Thank you so much Fiona - looking forward to seeing Thursday for our Human Face & Portraiture course. Always a pleasure x"

Su Parker reviewed: Creative Drawing Workshop for beginners in lovely Lawrenny

"This was one cf the first classes I did with Louise and I'm so pleased it was because it gave the confidence to try others, safe in the knowledge that Louise's teaching style would get the best out of me, whatever the medium being used. In this case it was charcoal. Louise leads by example and breaks things down into manageable chunks so I didn't feel overwhelmed and was able to relax into the session and really enjoy seeing what could be achieved with the medium. Such a liberating experience and I ended up with a finished landscape which far exceeded my expectations to such a degree that I still can't believe I did it! But that's all down to Louise's skill as a teacher and the way she makes you feel with her encouraging and knowledgable approach. Spending time in Louise's lovely studio is a real treat!"

Louise Burdett Artist responded:

"Thank you so much for the fab review Su. A pleasure as always. x"

Su Parker reviewed: The Human Face Explored - One-day Creative Drawing Workshop in lovely Narberth

"I've attended several of Louise's workshops and despite feeling rather nervous at tackling the human face I needn't have worried. I was amazed and delighted at what I achieved and this is all down to Louise's exceptional teaching skills. She has the gift of leading you through step by step from warm up exercises to end result in a way that is both instructional and encouraging, and really gets the best out of you. Louise's studio is a delightful space, filled with light and is a pleasure to work in. Her classes are never too crowded so you really feel you have individual attention when you need it. Thank you Louise, Im looking forward to signing up to your new programme!"

Louise Burdett Artist responded:

"Ah, thanks so much Su for your wonderful review. I can't wait to get back to teaching again and look forward to seeing you very soon. x"

James Ramage reviewed: The Human Face Explored - One-day Creative Drawing Workshop in lovely Narberth

"I found this workshop to be very enjoyable and satisfying. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and the facilities were excellent. With Louise's tuition, demonstration, and encouragement I produced results that pleased and surprised me. I didn't hesitate to attend further workshops on creative drawing and life drawing, which again achieved better than expected results. I will certainly return once a new program of events becomes available."

Louise Burdett Artist responded:

"Thank you James. Always a pleasure to teach you - I look forward to seeing you back as soon as we can work safely in the studio. Louise x"
