Catherine said: "Sofie is a terrific teacher. I really enjoyed the classes and feel I have progressed and learned a great deal, not just about oils, also about drawing, perspective, process. I wish it was followed up by a next level oil painting!"

Leanne said: It was great to get useful feedback in each of the classes on my painting technique from Nicki. She is a very encouraging and patient teacher and the class was a very relaxed environment in which to learn. I’ve never used oils to paint before and haven’t painted anything for decades so the class was wonderful to get me started. What we each produced at the end of the course was really amazing.
