Here are some comments from this years participants
The course has inspired me to carry on, look at art and the formation of it differently. I am passing my energy and the new knowledge from the course to my children and grandchildren who are loving painting with me. I am inspired and practicing what I learnt waiting for my masterpiece to appear. Sue.
The course has opened me eyes to my own creativity. I did not know it was there and I would not have tried to find it without you and the course. I am sooooo delighted with the joy and fulfilment it is now bringing me. Emma.
The course was a compilation of expert teaching combined with the freedom to express myself in art. It has been a complete revelation. Noreen.
An absolute revelation. I cannot recommend highly enough. Chrissie has reenergised my love of art by making anything seem possible with her clear and encouraging guidance and expertise. Sally.
7 Session Intuitive Art Mentoring Course.
The mentoring course takes you on your own journey from colour mixing through to creating a painting for your home or workplace in whatever size you would like. You will be encouraged to go as large as possible. One session will be spent visiting physical or online galleries to explore different kinds of artwork and a little art history. At the end of the summer you can take part in an exhibition of work where you can meet other people who have done the course and show your work to family and friends. This programme costs £60 UK ($65 USA) per session plus materials. The mentoring sessions can be run as stand alone ones if you want to pick and choose from the topics covered. We can also tailor make a programme to fit your specific needs.
Session one: Colour mixing
Session two: Mark making on paper
Session three: Guided visit to galleries
Session four: Composition and working on canvas
Session five: Painting a large canvas
Session six and seven: Completion of canvas and review of course.

Comments from some recent participants in Play with Paint:
‘Chrissie did not assume anything of us but simply accepted and encouraged us to be artists, each in our own way. A wonderful session, motivating us to to be creative’
‘A big thank you to Chrissie for the wonderful art session. I felt like a real artist after the session. I always wanted to do art but felt like I was never any good at it. Chrissie made it possible for me to create something that I was very proud of and the session was very relaxing and a lot of fun, My art is now displayed in my home‘
