Elaine reviewed: Free introductory tutorial 'Intuitive Oil Painting' for beginners

"Really enjoyed watching this tutorial. I have been putting off using my oils lately, but David really inspired me to dive in, get painting and have a go, without the fear of getting it wrong. He gave very useful advice about composition and oil mediums to use. "

The Old Kennels responded:

"That’s lovely to hear! So pleased you enjoyed the course :) "

Laurie Danforth reviewed: Hazel Dormouse - beginners coloured pencil drawing with Linda Hampson

"I spent considerable time researching potential teachers of colored pencil. Linda Hampson stood out as not only a wonderfully talented artist, but also an excellent teacher. I really enjoy Linda's explanations of why she does this or that and her repetition of critical aspects of drawing. Her approach is thoughtful, carefully filmed and fun! I would highly recommend any tutorial or workshop of Linda Hampson. It's fun to learn facts about her topics as well which are always included between drawing steps."

The Old Kennels responded:

"Oh Laurie, thank you so much for such a lovely review! In 'usual' times when we saw our customers 'in person' we knew they enjoyed our courses as they could just tell us. But with so much 'online' now we its harder for us to know we are getting things right, so when people take the time to write constrictive reviews we are just so grateful, it gives us great satisfaction in our work! Do hope you will enjoy this years new offerings, and please share your results with us by email or on our social media we love to see what you have been up to ! :)"
