Thanks again for a brilliant 3 days. If someone said to me I can have 2 weeks in the sun or a 3 day course again I would pick the course hands down. Absolutely Magic! TL
What a weekend John. Wow it was mind blowing. You have certainly opened my eyes not only to art but also to 'the world' around me. C SL
We had a fantastic time and I feel we learnt so much over the three days . It was all delivered with great structure and clarity and with such ease. LH
I have never been to an art workshop before – this was great and much better than I anticipated or even thought.It helped me with the ‘how’ and process of painting, I learned more in one day than twenty years of book reading.I loved everything about the workshop and you personally with your very good sense of fun and humour, you are a wonderful teacher. MC.
I have learned more in one week with you than I have with all the courses I have done in the past. A
Thank you for really clear teaching and lots of things to practice which I am looking forward to in the months to come.You were so encouraging, particularly at frustrating moments. I am so grateful for the great, clear tips you gave us;I wish you well and thank you again for inspiring teaching - it was a lovely learning community and Roundstone was just magic. GP
I would like to thank you for a most informative and professionally run Colour Workshop last weekend. I must say that I enjoyed every minute of it. So well planned, structured and executed.
I found it enjoyable and good fun and met such lovely people there and feel that it will be of benefit to me with my painting in the future. M O'K
Loved the workshop from start to finish. Especially enjoyed earning something I didn’t know or appreciate before, such as the benefit of creating thumbnail sketches and the exploration of pattern and tone. I would love to do another workshop with John as he is so skilled and knowledgeable but more importantly a great teacher. Signed JS
I only did one day of the course, but found it excellent – really helpful. No signature
Enjoyed enormously, opened my eyes to tones, shading, thumbnails. Feel able to move on and learn more. Has certainly moved me from drawing alone to using colours too. P.O.
Wonderful teacher, so generous and knowledgeable – I’d like a week-long course! Signed YP
Really good weekend – I learnt exactly what I needed to start painting ‘en plein air’ – thanks John. Signed I.
Gifted tutor, terrific course, really enjoyed the tuition and constructive criticism. Feel I’ve made some progress. Signed JC
This was the first art course I’ve ever done and I enjoyed every second of it. I have never painted with watercolours before and I feel that I have learned a lot. John is a great teacher and he explained things very clearly. He was very helpful and encouraging to everyone. Signed A.D.
John, You are a really great teacher, and very helpful to everyone. I enjoyed the week very much, the place itself is wonderful and we had very good meals each night. BW
I haven't enjoyed a week as much as this, totally absorbed in trying to paint light in the landscape. I so enjoyed your lectures and the company of like minded people, hopefully I'll be back next year.
Hi John, It was an absolute pleasure to have had the week up in Roundstone. Your class was perfect for me and I feel i have learned a lot and can now try to put all of it into practice. I cannot think of any way to improve the week John. The attention you gave us one to one was great I thought. SMacF

I am so grateful for the great, clear tips you gave us, I learned so much, I wish you well and thank you again for inspiring teaching. GP
Hi John It was a really good week with your excellent teaching and a jolly group. I think I have made progress and am working more on tonal values. I look forward to another workshop next year and have made a provisional booking LK
Hi John Just to say thank you for the few days painting in the west, it was great to get out doors. Your tuition was so good I learned so much in such a short time. I will keep an eye on the web for your future workshops . Patricia
What a great workshop, a real inspiration. So approachable, it wasn't long before everyone was off their seats and flocking around your canvas. A real reflection of your teaching skills - thank you for a great day. LS
Hi John Thank you so much - I can't tell you how useful I found your workshop, and then to be given notes as well is just fabulous! I really hope to attend your workshops again some day, MC
You have opened a colourful can of worms – Brilliant. NC
Thank you very much, John, for your wonderful colour workshop. I found it very enjoyable and I found it very useful how you explained the exercises in such detail and so clearly. SB
The workshop was a great experience and I would highly recommended it to anyone who has an interest in developing their painting skills. FM

John is very generous with his charts, props etc and very well thought out course with lots of useful tips. Great fun. CC
Thanks for a very informative and enjoyable class – lots of invaluable information delivered with ease and a very helpful manner. I didn’t feel overwhelmed even though there was a lot to take in. Great tools and projects to continue at home. EM
Many thanks for a wonderful few days – sorry it’s over!Lovely learning environment, excellent teaching and guidance. A lot of theory very well presented. Really appreciated your encouragement and positivity. Thanks for everything and for all your obvious preparation. EO’K
Can’t believe that was four days and what a fabulous four days it was from beginning to end. Inspiring, insightful, revelationary and at last complex colour made easy to understand and made so interesting. All the bases were covered in such a systematic and thorough way, not forgetting the many laughs! AO’C
Great course John – tone, temp and teaching was excellent. I liked the recap each morning – it also allowed time for questions and misunderstandings to be clarified. Will be back. BM
IT certainly challenged me to see other than my normal thinking. Really wonderful and fab experience, very engaging, deeply interesting. MO’B
As usual, great stuff, on the button! Very well prepared. He gives good feedback, not prescriptive, offers suggestions and deals with everyone equally.Thanks a lot for everything. D
The preparation for the class is obvious – 100%. Teaching clear and thorough, plenty of time for questions. Anon
Great course, I learned a lot about colour, you have a great sense of humour and wonderful patience! JM
Great course John – enjoyed it all. Z
