- 5/5 from Shilpa Kalia, attended Apr 2026: The structure of the class was easy to follow along and get an impressive outcome. Great relaxing way to spend a morning/afternoon.
- 5/5 from Elizabeth Salisbury, attended Apr 2026: This was a fantastic class with Zoe. The pace was just right and she is great at translating the technical aspects and reasoning behind each one. Highly recommended.
- 5/5 from Joanne Dadkalopoulos, attended Apr 2026: Zoe, great teacher takes her time to teach us answers all our questions enjoy the class so much thank you very much Zoe
- 5/5 from Matti Matti, attended Apr 2026: Zoe was very good at teaching us the techniques required to recreate Ban Gogh’s painting Sakura Blossoms and I was very happy with the result. I can’t wait to make my own paintings in the same way.
- 5/5 from Lenore Smith, attended Jan 2026: Loved this class. Great tutor with small group. I've done two of these classes now and look forward to do others. Very inspiring.
- 4/5 from Doree Adams, attended Jan 2026: For me it was a reset having not painted for many years I learned that you don’t have to set your background first but go back after scene completed (not sure I would ever do this especially in such a fiddly, time consuming work as I can see no benefit except for testing patience) Teacher Zoe very friendly, helpful and encouraging. Realised later we could have selected preferred brushes instead of those allotted to us. I enjoyed the relaxed environment and people Have signed up for 2nd one next week Will definitely take a cushion for 3 hours sitting on hard metal seat Ouch All in all a pleasant 3 hours, perhaps more geared to people just Starting their painting journey as you do end up with a finished work
