14 – 23 May 2009
HAZEL SOAN loves to paint almost anywhere that offers a good range of subject matter. Her popularity gained unprecedented levels when she featured as a tutor in the 'Watercolour Challenge' TV artist. She has a natural ability for teaching art and her more structured approach is particularly suited to beginners and intermediate students. Hazel Soan has published several instructional books including 'Watercolour Landscape Techniques' and 'African Watercolours' and has a new video out called 'Watercolour Weekend'. This is the only European painting holiday Hazel Soan is tutoring in 2009.

What our clients say...
"I have just returned from a week’s painting holiday with Jenny Wheatley in Venice and felt I had to write to say how much I enjoyed the
visit, the second booked through your company. The organisation always appears quietly efficient and the relaxed atmosphere contributes to a good feeling
amongst the group.Everyone is treated individually according to their needs, and I personally enjoy the freedom of the painting sessions."
Pamela Leatherland
"I am writing to say how much I enjoyed my holiday painting on Gozo and Malta. Everything on the holiday worked so well – the
hotels, the transportation and particularly the trip on the traditional boat and painting in the President’s garden. Of course most of all
I enjoyed the painting with Hazel Soan’s great tuition and being looked after by Martha (Spencer Scott programme co-ordinator)."
