Geoffrey Sambrook reviewed: Abstract Architecture: mixed media: Peak District, Derbyshire

"I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop. Pam's teaching approach was well structured and she gave me the confidence to move through the various stages using different brushes, colour blending etc to the final monochrome painting of still life. I liked the airy studio, an ideal location to paint. Even though the journey from Sale took over an hour I would seriously consider returning for another workshop."

Pam Smart Studio responded:

"Hi Geoff Thank you so much for taking the time to write a detailed review. I’m delighted you enjoyed the workshop and I hope to see you again in the future. Happy painting! All the best Pam Smart"

Cath Allwood reviewed: Abstract Architecture: mixed media: Peak District, Derbyshire

"A small group so lots of individual advice and help. An excellent introduction to painting in acrylics with information on materials: papers, paints & brushes. We began with setting up a palette and which brush to use, colour mixing and hints on how to make new colours. Pam gave a very clear step by step demo and we created an attractive small flower painting. After a delicious lunch, we spent the afternoon on a larger tonal painting which encouraged us to use all the brushes Pam had provided and to achieve interesting light and shade effects. Pam is a kind and thorough tutor and everyone achieved excellent results. All techniques were very well-explained with lots of additional useful information. Highly recommended for complete beginners and also for people who have done some painting already but want to learn proper techniques."

Pam Smart Studio responded:

"Hi Cath Thank you for taking the time to write such a comprehensive review and I greatly appreciate your positive comments. I’m really pleased that you enjoyed the day and gained a lot from it. I hope to see you again on a future course. Best wishes Pam Smart"

Louise Brooks reviewed: Abstract Architecture: mixed media: Peak District, Derbyshire

"Having never gone through the stages of acrylic painting before, the steps that Pam demonstrated to us were clear and very helpful. The activities helped me to gain an insight into different brushes and techniques and colour. This enabled me to produce a painting which showed the skills I had learnt. The group was small enough so that Pam could spend time one-to-one with us all. The materials provided were well organised and the space itself was perfect for a creative day of painting. Plus her lunch was absolutely delicious. The best thing to do on a cold, wet and windy day."

Pam Smart Studio responded:

"Hi Louise Thank you for such lovely comments - I’m really pleased you enjoyed the day. I hope you will have more confidence now to develop your acrylic painting skills - good luck! Best wishes Pam Smart"
