It was a welcoming, open settings, with people of all backgrounds and abilities there it seemed. Paulette is full of knowledge and hints/tips on how to take on the daunting task of developing abstract art, but her approachable, informal style made the session totally fun and fully stress-free! Highly recommended." Ben, Creative Strategist @ Meta London "Having had little to no experience in painting since school I really looked forward to this Abstract Art workshop. Firstly it was just enough time - to leave me wanting more!It was held in a pleasant venue, The Paxton Centre with access to food and refreshments.The workshop was exactly what I wanted, at this point I didn’t want to have to make an investment in any materials in case it wasn’t for me. What I did want, was to turn up, paint, learn and leave with a painting that I might want to frame. All of that happened!I was pleasantly surprised to be able to work with pastels, inks and acrylics! It was such fun to be able to experiment with so many different materials, it has definitely wetted my appetite and I am keen to repeat the experience.What did surprise me about the abstract approach was how much I learned about myself and as a result it left me with food for thought about how I can make some lifestyle changes.Paulette’s gentle teaching approach obviously gets the best out of people, she offers guidance, encouragement and support. As a beginner it could have been a bit intimidating but No, she goes out of her way to ensure that you feel comfortable. Paulette was constantly on hand to advise if needed. I could tell she is a popular teacher by the returning students in her workshop.It was such a wonderful way to spend an afternoon, I would highly recommend attending any of Paulette’s workshops." Susan D Smith, Psychotherapist , London "I recently attended Paulette's abstract painting class which I really enjoyed. Though I have been painting for some time I learned a lot. I discovered new techniques and different ways of looking at painting. She was an inspirational tutor, who explained everything in a clear and concise manner. I will certainly be returning to her classes". Bernard Victor, London
