“Painting Portraits” with Rosemary Beaton was described as both an enlightened weekend and a nourishing creativity boost. Rosemary Beaton is exceptional in her approach with a keen interest in composition, in her own words “Composition is key, it can either make or destroy your piece”
The following are some of our students testimonial of the weekend.

“ Venue good- good light, big space, free access to tea, no interruptions. Tutors- Pearl BrownExcellent. Encouraging, supporting. Good in boosting confidence to develop and try new skills and processes. If things were not going well, picked up and supported to make amendments and clarifications were given to develop from where you are. Rosemarie’s and Alison’s have slightly different approaches; this too is helpful and good to learn all the way around! I will be back, good developmental experience, supporting and educational.
