This is above EXCELLENT. This was the BEST two days I've ever spent painting. I painted in acrylics, oils and mixed media. STUNNING. Caroline is the best tutor I've come across, immensely talented but able to COMPLETELY assess our needs and correct our painting. BREATHTAKING - HONESTLY it's such a revelation to find something like this. I think she needs a medal OR SOMETHING! Thank you SO much! Sue - Sept 2007 web site

This painting holiday is possibly the best in France(!!) We went on it and had a sensational time. Lynn's cooking is fantastic, Doug is the most charming of hosts and the house is wonderful. Great bedrooms - swimming pool - The hammock is something to fight over! Doug and Lynn take you to the best places to paint - Uzes is the best of towns and St Quentin La Poterie - where the house is situated has lots of lovely pottery shops and quaint streets. Honestly try it - WE KNOW YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED - it had everything - great hosts, great location, fantastic accommodation, great places to paint!! Editor.
