Sketch & Paint the Landscape: end of course paintings

I asked the participants: What worked really well?
'Loved the plein air sketching and then being shown how to develop it once inside.'

'Being made to venture outside my comfort zone on a voyage of self-discovery!'

'Different ways of applying colour.' 'Using a big brush, bold use of colour.'

'Plenty of advice and guidance. Nice companions.'
