    Brilliant learning experience! All materials given and learned to use ink in the most amazing ways which I did not know you could do.

    This was a great workshop. Jill’s love of plants and in particular sunflowers was infectious. Drawing our attention to the detail in the beautiful examples she had for us to work on was fabulous . The day simply flew and gave me the inspiration to finish what I’d started and try to paint some more. These one day workshops are a great way to immerse yourself in something new, meet new people and enjoy the wonderfully calm and welcoming Art4you studio

    I just attended the fantastic 5 day art holiday at Art4you Scotland. The art studio is a great space and Claudia and Ewan are very welcoming. Claudia is on hand all day with lovely coffee and ensuring things run seamlessly. Ewan is a skilled teacher and artist. He provides you with the information you need to understand colour and the mediums you are using but then allows you to experiment and find out for yourself. The course is suitable for beginners through to those with years of experience. Above all Ewan and Claudia have created a positive and nurturing space to discover art. I will certainly be going back.

    I really enjoyed this day! After a warm welcome and coffee from Claudia, we started by doing 2-minute and 5-minute sketches, building up to a final 10-minute drawing which was to form the basis of our final painting. We prepped our canvases, took a break for lunch in the Garden Centre, came back and started our paintings. I felt I learned a lot about paint mixing, materials and techniques from Ewen, and it was lovely to talk to the other people there too. Many thanks!

    Wonderful workshop with Jill, ably assisted by Claudia. I felt encouraged throughout. A bright and airy art room. No setting up or clearing afterwards and a nice lunch in the Garden Cenre Café.

    This was my first ever Art Course and I was a little apprehensive. However I immediately felt at ease. The Studio was a lovely light and airy space. The staff were really welcoming and friendly. Sally the tutor created such a supportive and encouraging atmosphere working with a group of very mixed abilities and experience. I found the day to be great fun and really rewarding. I learnt some new skills, met some great people and came away inspired to try some more. I couldn’t recommend it enough
