Thank you, Carla for such a lovely afternoon painting with you. We felt so comfortable in your studio even though we were real beginners. That is down to your calm manner and the ease with which we understood your tuition. We loved your studio and artwork and ...you! We recommend to one and all!

My husband treated us to Carla's Watercolour Workshop for Beginners as a Valentine Present. It was a great environment to work in and Carla has such a lovely teaching style. She is gentle and encouraging but also able to give clear guidance in how to start using watercolours. I have struggled to use paints for many years and came away having more clarity and confidence in using them. Highly recommended.

Carla creates an atmosphere that is tranquil and serene - the perfect environment for artist juices to flow. She gentles nurtures you into believing you can create - no need for perfection - just allowing things to flow. Carla is massively talented in her own right, whilst her humility and warmth allowed me, as an absolute beginner to enjoy the whole creative experience.
