Painting Holidays in Hampshire & Wales
Enjoy a watercolour painting holiday in various locations including the beautiful Golden Valley near Hay-on-Wye (joining the Brecon Beacons), the sunny south coast at the market town of Fareham in Hampshire, stunning Headley or the beauty of The New Forest.
You are invited on an exciting and rewarding painting holiday where you can expand your painting skills with the expert tuition of Sheila who has 22 years teaching experience. Sheila has taught adults locally, on painting holidays, and also tutored at Flatford Mill.
By limiting the number of individuals on the course to 6 (10 at the New Forest) you can be sure of personal attention and the support you need to succeed.
Each person should be able to take home 2 or 3 paintings.

"Sheila is a good teacher." (Sue, Staffordshire)
"It was a total pleasure and very informative learning watercolour techniques in Sheila Dodds painting holiday at Hay-on-Wye. She was so helpful and patient, even with the complete beginners. We were taken to locations and painted the local scenery, provided with tea and biscuits by the owner of the house where we were painting. It was great fun and very social. So much so, that I will make sure that I shall return again next year."
