Dear all, here is some reference for you from our most enjoyable painting holiday at HH.
It was a slower pace this year due to having much to paint, which resulted in more painting time allowing us to get engrossed in completing a finished painting, and from the feedback this went down well.
As we completed our painting we were able to fine tune the tonal and colour balance of this scene which was chosen for it's rhythm through repetition of horizontal and vertical stripes and lines, with a limited palette of predominantly cools and a smaller area of warms, resulting in the warms being then dominate due to their isolation and therefore contrast.
Please scroll down to your reference, and please read the important note at the bottom about next years holiday.

Today I received this email from Flatford Mill Field studies centre, which I booked in 2017 for a 2019 painting holiday…which basically says it has cancelled our booking for next year!! I have sent them a stinking email back concluding that this is the last they will ever hear from me! However I am now challenged with trying to find another FSC that we haven't been to before for next years holiday, which means I will have to look further afield, this will not suit everyone, but with few options I will have to try to find what I can and see if there are enough numbers to book it….. I am very sad for those of you who were looking forwards to going back to FM and v angry at FM for their extremely shoddy behaviour towards us.
Hello Gill
We have a provisional booking for you on 5-8 August 2019. Unfortunately we are no longer able to offer these dates to you due to other confirmed bookings that have developed and a large school group that have booked the Centre, resulting in us having to adjust our other adult learning courses.
I can offer alternate dates in 2019 in January, February, November or December if these would be of any use to you? Or I can enquire at some of our other Centres, Juniper Hall for example to see if they have any availability.
Please let me know if you’d lie me to pursue either of the above options.
Kind regards
