What our students are saying...

Anthony Garratt

"This was my third time at Newlyn, and each time I have found the course stimulating and exciting. There's something special about the atmosphere from the minute you walk in, meet the other participants, and start learning engaging with the process of creating. All the tutors have been generous with their knowledge, from their particular individual methodology, innovative approaches and influences. Anthony's approach was always encouraging and reflective at the same time, and this particular course has truly ignited a spark which I hope will drive new work, refocus and combine ideas  and continue to help define my own direction as a printmaker/painter."

"Very clear guidance and extremely useful feedback. I've been on a few short and online courses with Newlyn School of Art, and this was the best! Very interesting to look at a range of inspirational artists through books and projections."

Paul Lewin

"I loved the time out on the beautiful Cornish coast we went to some great locations, and were very lucky with the weather. My first time painting outside and I was pleasantly surprised at what we all achieved. The group were good fun and Paul was a great teacher. I learnt so much, and have come away with lots of new ideas and techniques to practice. Thank you."

"An inspirational and exciting course with a great tutor. So much packed into 3 days"

"Paul generously shared his painting processes, empowered us with excellent tools & techniques, and enabled us to improve our own watercolour paintings in the unique landscape of the stunning Scilly Isles. Paul's tutoring style was key to creating this open and welcoming environment in which we were able to develop our skills and have fun on the course."

Amanda Hoskin

"I have attended several courses at Newlyn and this one, as usual, is brilliant. Amanda is an extremely good tutor - very talented and accommodating of all students regardless of needs, age, skills etc. She is enthusiastic and considerate providing superb demonstrations and guidance whilst out at various painting places. The School provides everything you need - paper, paints, tools, brushes etc. This makes it very accessible to everyone - complete beginners to experienced. Thoroughly enjoyable throughout. Thank you"

"Having been enjoying courses at Newlyn School of Art for many years - this course is the top of my list. Amanda always goes above and beyond with imparting her extensive knowledge and providing individual painting support to everyone regardless of skill level. We enjoyed this one so much we booked it again for next year!"

"Fabulous course, learnt so much in such a short time. Amanda was a brilliant tutor with infectious enthusiasm as well as the ability to draw out the creative best in everyone attending. She understood the problems that amateurs struggle with and was able to make practical suggestions that really achieved results. I was genuinely happy with what I produced, which is not often the case when I try something new. Strongly recommend"

Rob Unett

"An exciting, energetic, expressive and utterly engrossing three days. This is the best short course I've taken. I loved the fast pace and playful exploration of processes using multiple media under Rob's dynamic, expert direction, all accompanied by a perfectly paired playlist."

"Rob Unett's unbridled generosity in terms of sharing knowledge and insight made this course one I will never forget. Great quality materials too, and everything supplied. Rob gave me the tools and processes to expand my life drawing to a new level."
