Really enjoyed The Freedom in Painting course in Porthleven (September 2022). Ashley is an amazing tutor, understanding and full of energetic ideas to help guide you through your artistic journey. It's been an absolute joy to be part of this weeks lovely group of artists who had travelled from all around the UK to be here in beautiful Porthleven. Already booked for next year 😃 🎨

Thank you Ashley for an unforgettable, inspirational week. I have learnt so much from you…from starting with an amazing tour of galleries, to being encouraged to develop a freedom to be myself through art, to ending with a fabulous exhibition. I would highly recommend this course and can’t wait to come back!

Ashley’s Porthleven course offers a brilliant chance for painters of any level to develop a freedom of expression in painting. Ashley is both an easy-going tutor and intense painter. He does not force any particular style but generously helps each person find their own path. I came away from the course with new skills and plenty of enthusiasm.

This is my third year in Porthleven - I don't know of other courses where the tutor is as committed as Ashley. His ability to communicate his knowledge and ideas is a great skill.

I arrived with no experience of abstraction. I leave with a new aspect and tool for my painting. It works!
