Inspirational Painting Holidays

"I have just been on my first painting holiday with Pam to Finca el Cerillo. I was extremely nervous as I’ve never painted a picture before but I needn’t have worried. Pam has a great sense of humour and is a fabulous teacher with a wealth of experience, patience and words of encouragement. The finca was a truly magical place, the hospitality, food and surroundings were faultless. I made some good friends and spent a week of painting, sketching, learning and laughter! Would I go on another holiday with Pam? In a heartbeat" Julie, May 2023
