Testimonials

Read feedback from students who have enjoyed Nicky’s teaching, workshops, and creative approach.

“Nicky has a strong, energetic and colourful style and at the same can produce work of great delicacy, a truly inspirational and great teacher.”



"Her artworks are like a florist shop captured on paper and the workshops equally a bright, refreshing and inspirational too"



"Nicky’s workshops are inspirational. As a beginner to water colours her patience and enthusiasm for my attempts has been endless. The courses are always fun and I’ve learnt so much."

Nicky is so good at explaining how colours work together and watercolour techniques in a straight forward way that can be easily understood. "



"I look forward to my workshops with Nicky immensely. I've painted with other tutors for years and never been taught the key fundamentals of how to understand and apply watercolour well, until I attended her workshops. I have never really been pleased with the results; but I'm so overjoyed with my latest paintings created with Nicky's guidance finally work to be proud of. "

"Started attending Nicky’s watercolour classes with a desire to paint and zero skills. Nicky has developed my understanding and ability to be confident enough to paint, she always sees the best in what we produce and provides simple but valuable tips to turn our work into something to be proud of. Love Nicky’s style, vibrant use of colours and most importantly, the ease and non-fussy way she paints."

"Nicky is a brilliant combination of artist and teacher. Her watercolour work is confident and beautiful, with a vibrancy which is soundly based on her years of experience and her use of developing techniques. Her teaching is articulate and practical, sharing all her knowledge and skills in ways that make things achievable. The workshop is thoroughly prepared and resourced, with good communication in advance and helpful follow-up. Nicky offers clear demonstrations, and personal insight into ways to progress and develop, spending individual time with everyone while creating a collaborative class atmosphere. I think Nicky's paintings reflect her generosity of spirit and her warmth. I especially admire her use of colour which I think is quite unique. It is worth going to a workshop just to watch her paint!"

"Nicky is an inspirational tutor. 

As a complete beginner 2 years ago she allowed me to develop my own style and led me in bite sized chunks with sound direction when needed and with more experienced water colour painters she encourages them to experiment even more.”
