“thank you for the course you gave which I enjoyed enormously. With you I felt at ease and you are also very encouraging for the beginner in flower painting. Working with watercolours is not an easy technique and you learnt us some of the basics. Your idea about painting a garlic is probably a very good idea for another course”. - Rymke, The Hague
“For me it was a memorable four days. To find I can do something I’ve wanted to do for years. Your patience and understanding of our various problems was wonderful...I look forward to being on another course or workshop” - Mary Slator, Norfolk
“I loved it! The course exceeded my expectations in that we had fun as well as focussed learning. Your relaxed style and the welcome from you both made it such a worthwhile experience. I came home inspired to carry on and determined to improve” - Liz Smith, Leicestershire
“You’ll be pleased to hear that yesterday I dug out my old watercolours and painted mum a piece of ginger...We both thoroughly enjoyed the course & I’m thrilled with the end painting...would enjoy doing another” - Ruth Holbrook, London
“I very much enjoyed the course and it has given me more confidence that I can improve and take things further. I was very lucky to find such an excellent course on my doorstep.” - Nick Owen, Norfolk
"I took Elaine Searle’s classes called ‘Succulents in Watercolor’ and also her class ‘Painting White Flowers in Watercolor’. She was a wonderful teacher giving loads of individual attention and encouraged us to relax, to experiment and to paint without feeling the pressure of a performance. The classes were filled with technique direction, demonstrations, exercises, useful tips, and helpful answers to any question.
Her handouts gave colorful illustrations of how to formulate a painting once home. I would highly recommend Elaine for any future workshop and hope to take a class from her again." - Deborah Friedman, California
