I thoroughly enjoyed Helen's Abstract Watercolour workshop. I expected to find it really hard to get into or feel silly/out of my comfort zone but Helen's suggestions and guidance really helped me find new ways to make marks and expanded my creativity.

Helen's watercolour workshop was absolutely brilliant! I enjoyed it from start to finish. She really gave me the confidence to think outside the box and I came away with a piece of art that I will pop in a frame for my home.

Helen was informative, friendly and down to earth. We all had great fun, produced several pieces of art and were also treated to table service teas and coffees and cakes. Would highly recommend anyone to join another painting class with Helen.
