Here are some recent comments from students:

​

"Mr Palmers' course was wonderful - he led us by his kindly creative spirit on the path to higher attainment and confidence - we never imagined we could achieve so much improvement within such a short time - thank you so much".

 

"I learned a lot from the course. Colin was an excellent tutor whose preparation and teaching could not be faulted. We all had tremendous fun." 

 

"The most enjoyable and educational course I have attended for a long time. I would highly recommend it."

​

"Extraordinary effective tutor Colin Palmer took every trouble to ensure we ALL got a great advance in our skills. In my case a disorder of the hands, numbness and pain was not allowed by Colin to prevent me to getting a very good grounding in all aspects of painting buildings after I had initially feared I would not survive even one day of the course because of my disability. He is a master both of painting buildings and of the teaching process. The way both the best and the least talented course members all massively progressed was very remakable "

​

"Colin is always excellent. His preparation is always spot on. He is a perfectionist in his detail and explanations and always has a 'can do' attitude even to those of us who are not the best artists. We always turn out work of a high standard with his help. I look forward to doing a course with him again".

​

"The tutor was immensely patient and helpful in providing assistance to those requiring it at all levels. For someone like myself, having only started painting last year, I learnt an enormous amount including techniques that one could only learn through being taught in practice.
As a person, he was immensely polite and encouraging at all times and I couldn't recommend him enough".
