What participants say:
Fiona
Thank you again for a lovely day ... I will definitely be coming along to paint with you again.
I'm an engineer so everything I do at work is about detail and precision. I love the colours in your paintings and how you manage to simplify the images and keep them recognisable but stop them looking childish.
Now I feel a lot more confident about how to build my painting up in layers - and not get too worried about it looking a mess at the beginning. I've learned so many new techniques and tips - thank you.

I lacked confidence to start my own project and initially worried I would not be able to keep up - this soon dissipated however.
I enjoyed being able to plan and draft an interesting landscape I learned so much and Helen put me completely at my ease. I was very happy with Helen’s advice and suggestions throughout.
The day was intense but extremely enjoyable. I could have come back the next day to paint more!"

And her comments 4 years later - Little did I know four years ago today, that a weekend with Helen Elliott was going to change the direction my life would take - and improve it beyond measure. Feeling really blessed that I am where I am right now.
