I was very happy to meet a personal tutor with so much experience and knowledge, the exchange between us was friendly and practical with tips on art equipment and the necessary skills for landscape painting. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to those with some experience or just starting out.

Getting back into painting after decades of not doing it was daunting, but this meetup was exactly what I needed. Nisali explains technique very well and demonstrates with her own painting as well as being on hand to guide and advise on each student's work. Everyone in the class was friendly and it was a thoroughly enjoyable session. I am very much inspired and looking forward to the next meetup.
