"Dan has so much knowledge about painting that he shares very freely. He is encouraging whilst trying to help you learn from your mistakes, or prevent you making mistakes! . The venue is gorgeous. It is a lovely day out."

“The tipi at The Lost Barn was ideal — comfortable with plenty of space to work. As a retired teacher, I especially appreciated the meticulous planning that had gone into the course. Dan’s demonstrations were encouraging and responsive, and you felt he really cared about every individual’s experience. A really lovely session!”
