"A huge "Thank You" for such a memorable painting experience in Spain. Amazed and delighted at the progress I made in such a short time, due mainly to your constant encouragement and guidance". Heather

 

Just a line to thank you so much for your patient and inspirational teaching last week. My time in Monda with you and Alex was was such a confidence builder for me (in art and in life in general!). As you know I was more than a little anxious about my lack of painting experience but with your encouragement and your 'can do' attitude I feel I achieved so much more than I ever imagined that I could - I've returned home feeling inspired to do much more. You even managed to put a positive spin on my disastrous 'hay-stack', showing me how to learn from my mistakes! You've taught me so much, particularly the value of good composition and having the confidence to interpret rather than simply copy a subject. But perhaps the most important thing you passed on to me was something which I can carry through into life in general: after careful preparation, be brave, be uninhibited and go with your instincts - or as you so succinctly put it; 'If you think it - do it!'. Whenever I doubt myself this will come to me - it's my new mantra!
 
  Once again thank you for a wonderful and productive week and please pass on my thanks to Alex for all his help, his charming company and his lively conversation - what a dynasty you've reared!!
 
Best wishes for a prosperous future, looking forward to hearing from you soon, Shawn x

Thank you so much for a fantastic week . It was so much more than a painting holiday , it was  a wonderful experience with such lovely caring company. Many many thanks for everything Caroline . I can't wait to see you all again . I miss you all very much - Jan May 2009

"As one of the first people to experience a painting holiday at JoeDaisy Spain may I congratulate you on achieving almost the impossible.The studio is cool and fully equiped. The location is memorable and very Spanish. The tuition, as ever, is second to none. The whole experience was life changing. I hope to return again and agin and again". Margaret September 2008

 

Many thanks for making me so welcome on my week and for your generosity and hospitality. I thorougly enjoyed the week and the painting. I was impressed with the studio which I much enjoyed. Thanks again Alex for all the driving and taking me round for sketching which was fun. With best wishes. Derek

Comments after a morning painting in oils in Juanar:

Simon said: ´Magical, relaxing and just perfect for a painting holiday. I can´t recommend this enough´

Wendy said: ´Íf there is a heaven, this is the place. Perfect!´

"You really are an excellent teacher...allowing each member in the group to develop individual style,  sharing your time equally between all of us ( no favourites, very important!) In fact, you were really like some kind of super painting angel flitting between us all  offering advice and making suggestions, lifting flagging spirits as we all wrestled with this desire to create ! Thank you so much !" Rose

A REVIEW FROM TRIP ADVISOR - CLICK

This is an art studio in a lovely spanish village close to Marbella that runs various courses over weeks/weekends/days. I went on one of the acrylic courses and had a super fun time! I learnt so much about colour, composition and technique - but some of the best things were the relaxed atmosphere in the airy studio, the positive encouragement by the artists teaching to develop your own style and 'bring out the artist in you!', the great locations around Monda that we painted and just all round opportunity to indulge in painting. I would recommend this to any body - whether you can already paint/draw or not - it's just such a relaxing fun time. I loved it and will definitely be going back!!

  • We have all the comments by email - so they are there for you all to see!!

Now back in (cold!) UK after fabulous time in Spain.  When we arrived we told you that you had a lot to live up to after our previous painting holiday experiences and you did - with spades.   Caroline - you were truly inspirational and we both feel we learned so much from you.   In just one short week you turned us from "hobbyists" to "painters".   Perhaps one day we might even aspire to becoming "artists".  All this and fun too.    The studio was lovely - well equipped and lovely and cool after mornings spent on location in the sun, and the Ecohotel was a joy.   Beautiful spacious rooms with wonderful views of the mountains across to Marbella and a lovely pool and sunbathing terrace to relax on at the end of the day.   Thank you all so much from us both Val & Maureen


I am in Cornwall now and just want to say a huge "Thank You" for such a memorable painting week in Spain.  As a beginner I am still amazed and delighted at the progress I made in such a short time, due mainly to your constant encouragement and guidance.  I am looking forward to continuing my newly acquired passion for painting once I'm back in South Africa, it was worth the long trip!   Both you and Alex were both so helpful and nothing seemed to much trouble for you.

Thank you so much for a great week.  I met some lovely people and learnt so much about painting and the 'Easter in Spain' experience. Each day was an adventure; the parades, puppy, massages and the meal at the castle were wonderful extras.  I look forward to doing further courses with you in the UK .Judy

 

"I know I said it many times and it is worth repeating . you all made my stay a most enjoyable experience for me and for that I send you my heart of thanks. To spend 25 years at home and then head off on my own was a great achievment for me and to spend  it with wonderful kind people like yourselves made it so much easier.I do hope to see you all again". Kathleen

I have to say I have never enjoyed anything quite as much so unexpectedly as I only really came to support Gaye (now she's got to come again to support me in my new found desire to create and learn.) in her desire to rekindle her art skills.
 
Thank you both so much, you could not do enough to make our stay more enjoyable and relaxed (probably the copious amounts of wine!!) with no pressure and great scenery. Christine

'What I loved about it was that YOU inspired me to paint. I've been on painting holidays before and felt well that was OK but you inspired me about my painting and you didn't paint and leave us - which has been my experience before. This was a perfect balance of GOOD painting and a great holiday. Well done. Never enjoyed anything more" Sarah

Great place to paint, Great service, Great materials, Great hotel and I learnt to paint properly! Quite amazing!! Jane

Had a great time. Loved Monda, loved the apartment, loved the people and I've even learn a bit of Spanish. Thanks Alex and Ruth. Mark.

I will be back for a week, the Painting Day whetted my apetite. Loved the facilities and all those paints!! Great place and thank you for such a lovely time. Sam

Yes, loved it. I wanted to write and say thank you again, it's so good to have such quality service, generosity and wonderful teaching. BEWARE!! I will be back. Mandy

What a wonderful way to spend a week or so. Great environment, wonderful company, great teaching, delightful apartment, I will remember my time with you for a long time to come. Wendy

Janet said ' Generous, exceptional, professional, great service and what an outstanding place - I'd never used such professional paints or learnt so much with humour, friendliness and relaxation. Thanks I've booked again for 2009!'

Cat's training style made it easy for us to follow.  We were amazed by our results!  It was the highlight of our holiday. Thanks and here's to next time. Elizabeth, Hugh, John and Grace (Linlithgow Scotland) December 2009
