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!"

'Booking myself a spot on the Artist Development course was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Helen is not only an accomplished artist but she is a natural teacher and an excellent mentor. Her guidance and honest advice, both with my artwork and in beginning my new career as an artist, are invaluable.

I cannot recommend the course highly enough!'

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.
